Konig Countersteer Offroad

265/75/16 Duratracs

 

I believe there are two wheels under the "countersteer" moniker from Konig (FN Wheels)

There is the Countersteer X, which come in 16" diameter, and are essentially a cast clone of the japanese forged Volk te37's in 16" diameter. These have large, flat spokes. I have these wheels in gunmetal and they're gorgeous. I have 16x8 et 0, which sit perfectly flush with the fender and I'm running 285/75/16 K02.

There is also the Countersteer, also based on Volk Te37's, but are a completely different wheel design with longer, skinny, convex spokes.

 

^^Also, I don't suggest the -20 offset unless you're running crazy large tires that will complement the amount of "poke" that offsets provides. IMO they just look like the wrong offset with smaller tires.

The trade off is you get a wider lip.


Forgot to mention, the countersteer X is a one piece wheel that mimicks the look of a "stepped lip" which are typically seen on multi-piece wheels.

 

More angles/lighting of your wheels? Are they matte bronze?

 

dark matte bronze

 

Thanks, those look good! I have a cement now and thinking of these wheels (had them on my 2nd gen too in matte black) or the 16 inch countersteer type x. Hmmm

 

Does anyone have pictures or know if these wheels will fit on stock suspension with 265/70r16 tires? 16x8 0 offset

 

They will definately fit. Those are stock size tires. Just to inform the regular countersteer only come in 16, the type X come in 16 and 17 and have a slightly different look between the 2 sizes. The 16s seem to have a wider spoke than the 17s. And to add on the type x. If you get them with the 3.7ish backspace you cant run center caps on the front.

^^^this is with no center cap

 

How do these handle in the rain out of curiosity ?

 

Ooo I like this thread!

 

That is the first debadged ive seen in that color and I must say it looks great

 

Thanks!! I really like it too on the second gen body. The FN’s look great on it too!

 

Are those FN on 16" ? Also how do you like the wild peaks in the rain ?

 

Yes these are 16x8 -25 (or -24) fn type x’s with 315/75/16.

I live in socal but these are great in rain/snow. Wheeled with them in big bear and driven a few days of heavy rain with oily grounds and been glued.

Much better than a KO2 will ever be.

 

I like em did some digging into the ko2 and decided not to go with them. I see some cutting in my future

 

They’re good in the rain but not great, like most aggressive AT’s but they absolutely shine in mud, snow and ice.

 

I'll take good. Not planning on flying around in the rain anyways. I just havent heard the best of ko2 in the rain and being in this part of the country it is a huge part of performance. Thanks !

 

Did you have to trim fenders/cab mount chop? Did you lift it prior to wheels and tires.?

 

16x8 -20. Cut fenders, CMC, pinch weld beating, and now +2 LT

 

Beauty of a truck mate. Forgive me but what's LT?
