For reference:
2003 Style Wheels (non deep dish)
Size Pattern Offset / Backspace
17 x 9 5 x 4.5 +26mm / 5.95
17 x 10.5 5 x 4.5 +27mm / 6.83

The backspacing on the DD wheels on the 10.5s is 6.54. Effectively, the backspacing adds the equivalent of a 0.29 inch spacer, which is adequate to comp for the wider running 315 35s, such as BFG or Goodyears.

I currently run Reichard Racing 3/8" spacers , only because those were hubcentric. The 1/4" backspacing gain achieved by the use of this wheel should put them in the sweet spot.

These wheels should fit perfect. Hopefully have them mounted Wed - Thursday nite.

Now we're talkin... as soon as an all black version is available I'll be getting these. If they never come available I can just get the machined and get painted or powder coated black :banana:

thanks guys, let me 1st say though, while yes they look and fit great, i believe i will eventually upgrade to the DD front wheels as well. Reason I say this, is the center section of the DD rear wheels and the OEM fronts differ in depth near the lugnuts, so the rear DDs dont really match the OEM center section. I am going to give it some time and see. Most likely i nthe future i will upgrade the fronts as well, but in the meantime, will stick with what i got here.

And more pics, Quality pics, will be posted most likely this weekend, as until then, work owns me (I don't plan on seeing much daylight till Friday / Saturday)

Just got word mine will arrive tomorrow. Can't wait.

You ordered the whole set correct?

The more and more I look at mine, it does seem (potentially my OCD) that I will need to eventually upgrade the fronts.... it just looks a bit "off" with the stockers up front.

I get what your saying.. but would like to see pics outside to really judge if it stands out to much.

well i got all 4 wheels cleaned / polished up. its dark now so pics arent going to happen tonight..... hopefully tomorrow evening.

i stand by my comment though, the 2 different set of wheels just dont jive together.....i highly recommend buying the set of 4 wheels, and not trying to mix and match (i just did it to see if i could pull it off).

will let you guys judge for yourselves....when pics are posted.
