Moto Metal 957 Black

Wondering if these would look good on a silver truck. Also about the backspacing. These have -12mm offset and 4.53 backspacing in a 17x9 wheel. What would be the biggest tire to fit without rubbing. Truck is an
'07 F150 STX 4x4 with a 2.5" NCD leveling kit.
Sorry I cant get the pic to upload.

They will look great. You could fit a 305/65-17 (33x12.50) tire with that combo.

I believe that they would stick out about 2". Wandell will be able to confirm though.

They will stick out 2.5 inches farther than the oem 17 and 18 inch wheels.

Black wheels on silver paint would look badass!

You may be able to get a little taller tire in there with a 2.5" level. How about a 305/70/17? That's a 34x12 inch shoe. A guy I know had that tire on aftermarket 17's....Goodyear Wrangler MT maybe?

I called RimZoneOnline and asked about them only coming with chrome centers. They confirmed that was true, but said the black centers would be in early Feb. and they would send them free of charge.
I have the STX 4x4 and there is no chrome. The bumpers are painted to match. I installed black nerf bars. I'm going for the silver/black look. I'm even thinking about going with the blacked out headlights also. Maybe.

I like your thinking....I'm not to big on chrome.
Good to know black caps are coming....eventually.

The chrome is left for my Harley. Lord knows I've spent enough on that.
I'm thinking of going with the Rancho 4" lift. Putting on the 2.5" NCD levelers for now. Should be ordering wheels soon, hopefully.

I just got to thinking about this. Sticking out 2.5" can cause issues when muddin.Throwing junk (rocks) up the side.
What would I have to do, to get the tires tucked in a little more? I really don't want to get pocket flares.

Choose a wheel with more backspacing.
