    I really oversimplified my earlier explaination -it's kinda difficult when dealing with offsets/backspacing/suspension bits/fenders. You could go nuts trying to figure it all out.

    I learned quite a bit trying to stuff some 17x9 wheels into a car after I had converted it to coilovers. Nothing seemed to fit, because the coils were rubbing the tires. I had all kinds of cardboard templates out in the driveway trying to make things fit. It was a painful learning process, and it actually cost me a set of nice wheels.

    Here's a really good site explaining some of the finer points of wheel selection:

    As for those Chamber wheels, they really are sweet (especially in black), but it looks like none of them will work. Wait for the Colorado/Canyon pickups to gain popularity -they have a close fitment to us.

    Yes, I AM GOING NUTS!!! For now, I will probably just go with Rock Crawlers or the 16x7 Trooper wheels which I am about 99% sure will fit with zero problems according to everything everyone has said on the board.

    Thanks for the link - I will check it out. Slowly but surely, the reading and repetition will sink in.
