Looks great!

I took off my Cepek DC9s last week and replaced them
with these..
I did alot of work to these rims BEFORE I actually installed
them. They dont come looking like this from the factory.





17x9 +12 offset which sits the rim out some for what I consider
a better stance them higher offsets...
265-65-17 Continental tires

no offense but after spending all that money and time on your wheels an $8 bottle of turtle wax trim restorer would go a long way for your cladding - unless you like the faded look - either way the wheels and vx look great you dont see trios much anymore

Ive been busy..
not to mention the az sun fades the cladding out here like
every 3 months no matter what you apply to them..
after a while, you just live with it.
poor truck needs paint too

First attempt but I thought they had a little too much offset for my liking:





Rims are: Unique Wheel Series 252 15x10 -44mm Backspacing 3 3/4"
Tires are: Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 33x12.5 r15
Lifted: 3" Calmini springs and torsion crank
Trimming: Front wheel-well both for and aft and BFH. Note: still had rubbing on aft cladding and well with wheel cranked

Second attempt with narrower rim made for the offset I desired:





Rims are: American RacingAR 767 15x8 -12mm Offset 4" Backspacing
Tires are: Goodyear Wrangler MT/R 33x12.5 r15
Lifted: 3" Calmini springs and torsion crank
Trimming: Front wheel-well both for and aft and BFH. Note: No longer rubbing with wheel cranked.

One thing I didn't really comprehend is how offset and backspacing relate to rim width. I was concerned with how far the wheels protruded from the cladding. I wanted enough so that when off-roading the tire walls would contact rocks before cladding damage occurred. But I didn't want too much sticking out, this is subjective, what is too much for me is desirable to others. But think of it this way: an 8 inch rim width with a 0 offset will have about 4" of backspace. But a 10 inch rim with 4" of backspace will stick out 2" more than the 8" rim since 5" inches is the rims center point. For some reason I was thinking a 10" rim with the same backspacing as an 8" would stick out only 1 more inch.

Like you said, it's all a matter of preference. IMHO, the deeper dish of the wheels with more offset looked mo betta.
