Wheel Backspacing/offset

[jimbrown_1]

I have a 2005 Sierra Crew Cab Z71 with a levelling kit installed, front height increased approx. 2". I had Michelin LTX AT2 tires installed (LT 285/70/17) on the stock OEM wheel (17" X 7.5). I'm curious if anyone has a recommendation on the offset for the wheels I am looking to purchase? I'm looking at the Ballistic Off Road 810 Wizard in chrome 17 X 9 with either the +0 (5.0 backspacing) or +12 (5.47 backspace) offset. The tires don't rub now and still has the stock look but I want to get away somewhat from the stock look without the wheels sticking too far out from the OEM fender flares/wells. Thanks in advance for the advice.

If your heart is set on them wheels go for the 5" backspacing, it may just stick out a little bit. I had the same on mine leveled with 5.71" it feels the fenders up. I went with the 4.5" on my new wheels and with a 12.5" wide tire on my truck now with a body lift and it dont stick out that much about 2.5" maybe 3" but it does rub backing up on the inner fender. What really gets your width is a 10". I looked at the same wheels in the black but it wasnt going to get the width I wanted, then talked my self out of the jester's.
