    Can get a good deal on some 17 inch wheels but thnking they might not look right on a Mav/Com. Is anyone running 17 inch wheels? Do you have some pics?

    I have 17x9 on the rear and 17x7.5 on the front everyone seems to like the look of the wheel because thats the first thing they ask about.

    Did the 05+ bullits requre large spacers to be flush with the fenders? I have a serious pet peeve with wheel/tires with the wrong offset inward.

    Thanks they look decent, I prefer a wheel to stick out more so something with a bit of a lip.

    On the '05 up wheels, 1.5" would work but 2" is about perfect. I have 1.5" in the front because I'm paranoid about hurting my fenders, and 2" in the rear.
