Spacers aren't ghetto unless you use ****ty parts. Ford used them from the factory on DRW trucks, and they are even over 5" spacers. 2" spacers are fine, especially on a truck like Tommy's. Not everyone thinks the old 16" wheels are nicer. A lot of people think that a slightly larger wheel looks better and you have better tire options as well on a 17 vs a 16. It would also make sense to use newer wheels if Tommy did an 05 conversion.
