Pay is the same but one quirk is I will get back the retirement they have
been
holding back for the last year, $300.00 Not much, but with some more I've
been
saving I'm planning on finally getting some new wheels put on the Dak. Which
leads me to my plea for information...
I would like to put on some 17" wheels. I'm not sure if this is doable
because
of price. I can't spend over $200 each. Is is possible to get a decent 17"
for this price?
I like the centerline wheels, and it seems they have plenty in the goofball
6 on 4.5 bolt circle. What should the backspacing be?
I would utimately like to have 255/55 R17 tires (gee I wonder what other
truck
wears that size?) Has anyone put anything close to this on a pre '97 Dak?

I know you had done plenty of research in this area, did you ever get a page
put together?
Any help that anyone can offer me would be GREATLY appreciated. I'm a custom
wheel virgin so to speak....

On my truck I have the following setup:
Front: 17x8" Boyd Gotcha II, 245/45/hr17
Rear 17x9.5" Boys Gotcha II, 275/40/hr17
Not sure about the backspacing but the rear is deeper dish than the front. I
want to get larger ones (like 19's) but we all know how that goes....rich on
thoughts and broke in the wallet!! Seventeens are the way to go, I wouldn't
consider any smaller for performance or for sporty looks.

As for prices good luck finding anything under 200, it's hard enough finding
decent ones under 300, then of course prepare to pay 150 bucks a tire as
well!! Looks ain't cheap!!
