Wheels-17x8 Chrome With 5.5 Backspace, Who's Got Them
 

I am looking to change out the wheels. I have had a hard time finding a good looking wheel in chrome that has a 5.5 backspace. I found the american racing fuel comes in 5.5 backspace and it's a fairly good looking wheel. Help me out here guys I need help. Pic's please. I need 17x8 in chrome.

. . . your not going to find a 17" rim that fits. :(

I too would like to know this.

Ok, Guys I have found 1 wheel in the size and backspace I want. It is an american racing fuel8. below is the link.

Mickey Thompson wheels (they only make 2) have a 5.5 bs. In both 17 and 18. :thumbsup: I dont know if they come in chrome.

I will check out the mickey thompson website. Thanks

Ok, I checked it out. They are both aluminum. 17x9. They both have the correct backspace and bolt pattern. I will keep searching. Here is the link to mickey thompson.

Anyone have the American Racing Rims above, they look cool to me, and if I can get them in 17x8 with 5.5bs and chrome I'll go for it. But...will they clear the brakes??

I just put on 17x8 Helos with 4.25" of backspacing. Its not quite what you were looking for but certain 17's will fit. Good Luck :thumbsup:

Yes, 17 inch wheels will fit no problems. I love the look of the helo's but the backspace with 35in tires just won't work without alot of cutting. I saw the american racing wheels in person at a local discount tire. very nice looking wheel. That is the only wheel I have found that is chrome 17x8 with 5.5 backspace. To my knowledge it's the only one so far. I have been looking for 2 or 3 months now with no luck. Thanks for the help guys. I will keep looking and post any that I find. Thanks

Check out the link for the wheels. I saw them in person. Good looking wheel.

Indiana,

I went to a local spot today and looked at them in person. I think I might end up with these, they look good in person and with american racing are probably good quality. Waiting on my bonus the end of this month... :thumbsup: Thanks
Nice truck BTW

Good, I hope this thread helped you. I will also be adding these wheels to my truck probably around spring time. I will do the fabtech lift and wheels at the same time.

walker evans makes a wheel that is 17x8 1/2 with 5 inches of back spacing. 315-70-17 bfgs fit without rubbing if you have a 2 1/2 inch leveling kit. the wheels didn't stick out either.

Great, Do you know where I can see some pictures? Do you have a link? Thanks for the help.
