    I dont care for the all black, kinda looks too plain for a street ride , at least for my taste. I do like Discount Tire though. Tirerack was a little cheaper on my tires, about $7 ea , but overall for a set of wheels and tires shipped you couldnt beat free shipping. They are #1

    I saw that they make a matte silver finish that would look pretty good on the Commander.

    How well would the 17X9 5-127 0MSM fit our trucks? I know there would be 5" of backspacing, but do you think this would clear the fender, firewall, and whatever else when fully turned or flexed? This would be assuming a 2" lift as well.

    Thank you for your support Neil! If Tirerack ever has a lower delivered price (unit price + shipping) let us know. We won't be beat.

    Aggie, it will really depend on the tire size you want to run.


    Assuming you are running 17" stock wheels without spacers here's some numbers to consider.

    17x9 0mm offset = 5" Backspace and 5" front space
    17x7.5 +44mm offset = 6" backspace and 2.5" Front space

    This translates to.....

    The 17x9 will be pushed out 2.5" closer to your fenders than where your stock wheels sit now.
    The 17x9 will be pushed out 1" further away from your control arms and suspension.

    Do they come in silver???? If so, I'd consider giving them a shot. They'll stick out 1.2" further than my current wheels which is still a bit much (5.5 BS would be perfect) but its better than al the other wheels that are 4.5" BS.

    Matt correct me if I am wrong.
    So the BS of 5.5 will work for the Xk with out having to use the spacers and not rub while using at least a 265-70/17's tire?
