What y'all think?
 
Lookin' good, man. A nice set of wheels really helps set it off.
 
Looks great! Love that style wheel.

That looks great ! What are the specs on the tires and rims ?
The wheels on the front are 17x8 with a 4.5" backspacing, and the rears are 18x9.5" with a 5.5" backspacing. I did have to run a narrow 5/16" spacer on the rear to get the tires off the frame. The tires are 255/40s front and 265/35s in the rear.

So if you would have used a 5" back space on the rear would you still have to use the spacer ? And what brand wheels ?
I don't believe so. We test fitted the rims prior to mounting tires on them and the were flat on the hub and like a 1/16" off the frame. With the spacer I have like 3/8" between tire and frame
