Made In China......

Well I should have researched a bit more and expected as much.

Just got my new Incubus wheels in. Pretty stoked that they are here but when I opened a box.....saw the chinese lettering.....looked at the back of the wheel.....Made in China.

Wheels look good though. I guess I should have expected that since not much is made in the USA anymore.

I ordered the Incubus Brawn in 20 x 9. If I remember correctly it has a 30mm offset and 6.18 backspacing.

I ordered them from rimzone.com or its rimzoneonline.com. There are a couple of trucks in the 04-08 section running them. There wheels look a bit different since they are running rims with a smaller backspace. Due to that the spokes will slant back into the hub more.

With the backspace I have the spokes are near vertical and there is about 1-3/8 to 1 1/2 inch of lip on the rim. I think they will look good and now I have to find out how wide a tire I can run with the backspace.

Will do. Today if I have time I am trying to verify how wide a tire I can run before ordering. Im not worried about trimming plastic I dont wanna have issues with rubbing on the suspension.

Want to run 35 x 12.50 x20 toyo mt's. May have to run 285/65/20's which toyo does not carry in 20. Goodyear carries that size in the kevlar though.
Anyway - might be a little bit before things fall in place and pics arrive.

I think you might hit the upper control arm with the 12.50s. Mine are very close and I have a half inch less bacspacing.
