please help me out with wheels..

I really like 2 items American racing , "Thug" 17x8.5 5"backspacing +6offset or Mojave 17x8 4.5 Backspacing , 0 offset

Which one above here will keep tires inside the fender?

I was told that Mojave 17x8 with 4.5 BS, 0 offset will stick out fender approx 1.5".

It will mount on 295 70 17 nitto terra for my truck 04 Screw and i think i ll get 1.5 AS.

Aerican racing Thug or Mojave ??? I think i ll get Mojave.

I will sell my FX4 rims (tires 275 65 18 only has about 10K left on it) after i got all tires/wheels.

thank you for your time!

I am not an expert but I didnt think most 17" rims would fit over the rotors. I was looking for some for my truck and everyone said I had to go 18" on an aftermarket rim.

Offset is the distance the wheel mating surface is "offset" from the center of the wheel. If you have a positive offset the wheel will sit under the truck. If the off set is negative the wheel will stick out from the truck.

yeah I m aware about some rims 17" aftermarket will not fits but i was told that F150 2005 and up they changed capiler brakes (redesign or something like that) , 2004 dont.

I have seen some mojave on F150 2004 with no problem.

I went ahead and ordered Mojave 17x8. $609 to my door

Thanks!
