Nope, AEV wheels are meant to maintain a certain amount of factory appearance. $800 gives you lots of options. Just find something you like and get it.

you need more backspacing, unless you got alot of lift, I' running soft 8"s with 5 inch back spacing fit nice, minimal rubbing w/ 2inch BB

What size tire? What is the width on the Soft 8's? That info would help for people looking at a certian setup.

Just cause you'd get Cragars doesn't mean he necessarily will. Give the man all the options you can.
