i went with 16x4.5s on the front with 15s on the back, iwould not get the welded ones for the simple fact bogart is a really light then metal which will bend rather easy this way if you mess up a rim you can just buy the rim and bolt the center hub in and be done, it beats cutting and grinding if a rim messes up..

my rears will be foresale soon as im getting another rear set with bead locks

I plan on getting a set made pretty soon.

Fronts: 17x4.5

Rears: 16x10

I decided on these wheel sizes because I drive my truck daily and want to keep the biggest factory brakes I can fit. The 05+ front brakes require a 17+ inch wheel and the factory rear disc require a 16+ wheel. My lowering spindle also requires a 17+ inch wheel which is another reason to get 17s up front.

Bolted is the way to go. Rich told me it was stronger as well.

what front tire are you talking about for running the 17x4.5 wheel that is 28" tall?
