Cobra R 17's on 05 Limited?

[CapeLimited]

Hey Guys,
I have stock 17s on my truck with the chrome dress up covers that came with it. Cant seem to get it to balance so I am going to go with some Cobra R 17s. The new tires I just bought are Bridgestone Alenza's 245 65 17s. Will these tires work on these rims? I am going with the 5 x 4.5 lug, 25 mm backspaced, 17x9's. Anyone else running this setup on an 05 limited 4.6.

It should work. Most people go up in size when they buy wheels, you didn't want to go bigger than 17's?

If you do go with the 17s/cobra Rs, be sure to post pics - I'd like to see what they look like.

I've seen 18" Cobra R's, it was borderline on the size. It didn't look bad, but 20's look much better on our 3rd gens.

the 245's are a little narrow for a 9" rim but will work
should have gone with 275's....
