Cant find wheels.
So I realy only have 2 requiremants and I thought peice of cake! Not so much. I need to find a set of all black wheels and I also need them to be offset 2inches. The main reason for the offset is the fact I need to be able to put a set of chains on the front and there is no way to do that with the wheels I have now.
As it sits right now I bought a set of 2" wheels spacers but every time I leave the pavement these P.O.S.'s start to vibrate themselves loose!

Black is black, as long as they look good.
I guess I dont renaly need a full 2inch offset if I was to get bigger/wider tires but the tires and wheels I have right now only have 3000 miles on them and I paid $1800 for those damn things.
I dont think I realy want to go any bigger than the 33's anyway though. Maby if I was to add a 6 inch suspesion lift to go with the 2.5 inch level and 3 inch body lift I already have then some bigger meats would be called for. But as my truck sits now I think 33's look pretty good.

you mean 2" of backspacing? if so those are gonna be very hard to find unless you have them custom made. if you went with a 9" wide wheel a -44 offset would yield 3.25" of backspacing. not sure if these would even work for 33s without a lift or at least a leveling kit. 2" of backspacing is gonna put the tires way out there.
if you are talking about a 2" offset, then that equates to about a +50 offset on a 9" wide wheel, also a very difficult wheel to find. i'm not even sure if that offset would work without hitting the control arms.
maybe i'm misunderstanding but to run chains on the front i wouldnt think you'd need either of these extreme positive or negative offsets. i've never ran chains myself, but i'd double check your offset requirements to see if that's what you really need. if you can run chains with a different offset then your options for wheels should open up alot more. black 17s with widths of 8"-9" are everywhere in every style and every price range.
