Help with new rims.....

Hey guys, I am fairly new to the truck thing and have a question about rims. I just recently put new 285/70r17 Nitto Terra Grapplers on my stock 17"
wheels for my 2003 Scab FX4. I am wanting to get new rims on it, keeping the 17", but would like them to offset just a little bit, but not too much. Anyone have any suggestions on a good rim with backspacing to offset them from the body.....I have leveled it already. I will try and get pics posted of the truck so maybe someone can give some suggestions about what would look best, but I need my wife to help me get those pics on here But until then to give an idea it is a silver truck with the dark gray accent stripe at the bottom, and has chrome running boards, chrome bull bar, and bright aluminum diamond plate toolbox.....so basically I am saying I am looking for a chrome rim, and want to keep with the off-road look. Any suggestions.....and like I said I am new, so I will try and get those pics posted ASAP

If you go with a 17x9 inch wheel with 5 inches of backspacing, which is a very commom specification, they will stick out 2 inches farther than your OEM wheels. With you color combo, chrome or black would look great. Eagle Alloy, Pro Comp and KMC all make great looking off road style wheels.

i agree with wandell. mine have 4.75" backspacing which i think is perfect but i doubt the .25" would ever be noticed.
