I have 17x9's on my 2002 and they dont stick out much, the 13.5" tires are kind of what do though. Dont know if that would help with a newer body style, I'm not familiar with the wheel bases or body widths on those trucks.

To be honest, I can remember. Its been so long since I put them on. I think they have a littel bit of positve offset but not much. I want to say maybe 4in of back spacing
