Anyone have decent luck in locating a variety of truck wheels in this size? I've looked all over and can only find a handful - AR Atlas, one Eagle, and a handful of expensive Welds. For those who are running these, what are you going with? Also, what other brands may I try? Thanks,

Mike

 

Hello packager_jr,

Why do you need that wide of a 17" wheel, you can put the largest 17" tires on a 17x9? What size tire are you going to use?

 

I just ordered some 315/70/17 BFG ATs from the Tire Rack (btw - $125 = damn good deal). I wanted to run 10" wide wheels so the tires wouldn't look too bowed out - just a personal choice. I also want the tires to stick out from the body some, and a 10" wide wheel with close to stock backspacing should give me the look I'm going for. A 9" wheel would also work but I'd prefer the 10.

Also, I want the 10" wheel just in case Mickey Thompson ever makes a 36x14.50/17 in the Baja Belted style tread - I think those are bad to the bone.

Anyway, thanks for the reply and any other help -

Mike

P.S. Gotta lift the truck first before these tires go on, I'm definately not trying to stuff that combo under a stock vehicle.

 

I have a set of weld 17x10 billets that I wouldnt mind parting with. they cost me loot when I bought em but now they are not new anymore and I would trade them for a set of silver lightning wheels in decent shape. wheels are not bent one has been scratche when the ******* at the tire store was mounting the tires could easily be polished out though. can send picture if interested

 

I may be interested in buying, if the price is right. Send me some pics if you can, I'd appreciate them. Email is:
