17X8 Black Helo Maxx 6
Is there such a thing as a 17X8 Helo Maxx 6? I found one web site that supposedly has them. It seems that if it was available I could find them other places as well.
Was a typo....
Does anyone know if there is a 17X8 black wheel that is similar looking?
Thanks,
Shane

Yeah it was a Typo on the web site... I really like those wheels. Do you know of any black wheels like the Maxx 6 that I can get in a 17X8? What do you think I could get out of my stock 10 spoke 17x7.5 wheels. Everywhere that I've looked they sell for better than $200 each new. I would take a lot less than that.....
As always....... Thanks again.
Do you work for a wheel & tire place? Your knowledge is unbelievable.....

No, I don't work for a tire dealer. I just spend way too much time on the net and reading truck magazines!
As for what your tires/wheels are worth, OEM stuff usually doesn't bring much. When I bought my Screw, my tire dealer offered me $100 for my brand new tires as trade in on my BFG AT KO's.

I stopped by a local tire and wheel place today who can order Helos. We looked at the book and it showed a 17x8 Maxx 6 in black. So I tell him that I can't find that wheel anywhere and he should call Wheel Creations. So he calls the chicago rep and the guy says shure we make a 17X8 Maxx 6. They would have to be shipped from either Florida or some place out west.
He also says that the 17X8 only comes in a +10 and -15 offset. So my question to you Wandell is which do I choose. My front hits on the frame at full wheel lock so another 15mm (1/2") will make that worse. Or I can go with the +10 so that it sticks out anothe 1/2" on the 8 inch rim. So which should I try? He said they would mount 1 and check it and if they don't fit they would take them back without charging me. I'm leaning towards the +10 offset....

To be honest with you, I can't remember seeing someone with 315/70-17's on a set of 8 inch wide aftermarket wheels on a stock 4x4. As you say, you will usually have some rubbing on the frame at full steering lock with the stock wheels. However, if you push them out with a wider wheel with less backspacing, you will get rubbing on the front bumper's lower valance and the rear of the front fenderwells. I guess the only way to find out is to mount one up.

I have a quick question for you... I went and did a search for offset and backspaing and I am getting two different sets of information. If a wheel has +10mm of offset that means that it moves OUT approx. 1/2" right and -15mm offset means that it moves IN towards the frame approx. 1/2". When I look at the diagram on this thread...

it looks to be opposite of what I thought. Look at the second diagram down of the wheel and offset and back spacing. I want to order the Maxxs but I want to be sure which ones, either the +10 of -15 offset. Man I'm confused...

So which do you like better?

Helo
Wheelpros who make both the wheels book says they make the Maxx in a 17x8 but when called they only make it in chrome. So I'm going to have either the MM 951 or Black Maxx 6 shipped in a 17x9 and test fit it on the nose and see how much trimming I'm really going to have to do. I'm probably going to be sorely dissapointed but I just have to give it a try don't I...

Well, I got the Maxx 6 yesterday and of course the guy sent the -12 instead of the +10 offset. So being impatient like I am I took it to my wheel guy and gave it a try anyway. Low and behold the 17x9 just tickled the front valence and the front of the running board at the back of the front wheel well. So today I spent about 2 hours removing the lower part of the front valence(unscrewed it) Moved my running boards back about 1" and then spent a little quality time with my dremel and a cutting disc. When the other three wheels get here on tuesday and I get them mounted I will post the pics. And they said it couldn't be done. Wheelpros even said that that wheel in 17x9 with the 315/70/17 wouldn't fit with any less than a 3" of lift. I love a challenge.....
