Did you need spacers? what size rims and what tires? I was looking at these and even asked for a picture in the XD Picture post..

Most XD black rims have some chrome on them and I do not like any of them, these XD801's look pretty good!!!

I have been told that these wheels will scrub my steering stabilizer. I have already purchased the 17x9 cranks with 5 backspacing, so there is no turning back now. I was planning on putting 35's on these wheels with a 2.5 to 3.5 inch lift. Somebody on the forum told me they would scrub. How do you like your's? They look awesome, but it would really suck to scrub something everytime I turn. Let me know

I have 20's w/ 33.4" x 12.6" tires but the back spacing is the same and I have no lift.... All that I had to do is trim the air dam to avoid a rub when I was in reverse with the wheels fully turned. You will be fine!

Congrats! They look bad ass! I love the lack of chrome. Wish I would have seen those before I got mine. Would have made my choice a lot more difficult.
