Going 17"s - Update!

[01Konvict]

01 Konvict you have one of the best looking set ups I've ever seen. I wish I had room for a 7" lift. But I like our cars in the garage and mine has a really short door opening. As the truck sits now with a measly 2" rc level i only have like 3 inches of clearence. I think the ccm is the best I'm going to be able to do. I honestly should have just bought it in the first place. Live and learn. When in doubt always go bigger lol.

Actually I have question. I went with a wheel that has +10 backspace. They had the same wheel in -10 backspace. Could I have fit the -10 or did I make the right decision on the +10?

Thanks dude! I'm very happy with my build just want some billet wheels on it. Always go bigger ha!

As far as wheels either is good. The +10 will sit just about the same as factory. The -10 would sit about flush or just a little poke from top of fender. Either of them will be good. Easier to clear bigger tires on +10. I like the valance work. Makes a big look difference when trimmed.

Is that the only spot where it rubs? If so, I honestly wouldn't even bother trimming it. Truck looks great, the 17's really do make the tire look bigger than it actually is.

Pull liner back and trim brace back then use L bracket to pull liner forward. Wheels and tires look great!

Still fits in the garage so thats good. Hardly gained half an inch in overall height. I can still go up a little more with the lift. Eventually. But yes 01Konvict I am going to be doing exactly that. I can fab up the brackets at my dads fab shop. Any picks or dimensions for the bracket? And is aluminum ok or shoud I do stainless?

Did a little searching and found this from member al2fast. Looks like a bit much but should be roughly what I need to do correct?

Depending how your wheels fit, yes. I had a high offset and needed to adjust the section inbetween the factory screw and the bolt that he added.

 

[01Konvict]

Yeah you found the best pics. His was more than most need. Mainly the area near bolt in middle of liner. Use that hole and a 2" L bracket screwed into the plastic brace. Then you can use the same hole in liner like mine.

Looks great dude. I think you made up my mind as to what size rim I am going to go to. I always thought of going to a 20" rim and tire combo as my Tahoe has the 17" rims, but I think I will keep the rim size the same and just get a bigger tire along with a CCM level.
