Descent 17" Steel Rims with offset?

[mil81]

I am looking for a set of 17" rims to run in the winter time. I have found a couple sets of nice looking steel wheels, which are a lot cheaper, and tougher than alluminums, but with the big fender flares I am running they would look goofy with winters. I am looking for something with around a -12mm offset. That is what I am running with my 35's and it matches the flares nicely.

Worst comes to worst I can put a set of spacers in there, but you can only get them in 1/4" so it's about 1/2 the offset I am looking for.

Does anyone know of a descent looking steel rim that you can get with different offsets?

Thanks
Murray

those have 4.5" backspacing on a 9" width, probably about the offset you are looking for.

Wouldn't that add up to a 0 offset, since the backspacing is exactly half of the width?

That is the rim I was looking at though. I hope I'm wrong, they would look great for a winter rim.

Yeah i guess the backspacing is probably half the width on a thin steel wheel. That's not the case on thicker aluminum wheels though. Those wheels would probably make the tire a centimeter closer to the truck than you're used to. I'd call pro comp and comfirm though - I can't find offset numbers for rock crawler steel wheels anywhere.

1cm doesn't sound like much, but it sure shows up when you're talking tire placement. I guess that's not too bad, along with the 1/4" spacers. It should look as good as can be concidering I have to jump down to pinner tires again. LOL. That is the only reason I hate winter, my truck has to look gay for those months.
