Favorite 17 Inch Wheels

17x8.5, -10 offset, scs ray 10 in stealth indigo, but they never made them.

 

Race Relations RR7-H in 17x8.5, -12 offset in gloss black or matte gunmetal are neat too. Also like that blue they offer on certain wheels.

 

I was thinking about going with some FN Five Stars just can't decide if I want the matte black or bronze on the MGM.

 

Those are a very nice looking wheel but for me I am chasing old school machined/polished.

 

Any specific wheel you're leaning towards?

 

Currently have a couple on my shortlist but limited by my ability to get through all the available options out there - discovering new vendors daily ....

Still prowling for a unicorn tire LT285/55r17 ORWL

M71 Machined – ModCo Wheels

RAPTOR / MACHINED SILVER / 17X9.0 -12 - SSW Off-Road (sswoffroad.com)

 

Those ModCo wheels look pretty sweet! Now you have me thinking about a blue but wow they are expensive powder coated!

 

280 55 17 is little over a 33 × 11

 

Theoretically, yes but I have not found the actual tire to exist. Regardless, 33 is too tall - I am pretty sure I need to stay under 31" and preferably closer to 30" dia. Cheers

 

We'll be updating the site soon. We just got our own booth and oven. We're finishing samples of our "core colors" that will be available at no extra charge. We should have samples done next week. Core colors will be: Grey, Bronze, White, Red, Blue, Teal and Silver.

 

That's awesome thanks for letting me know! I'll have to check it out in a week or so.

 

Can you ask you for specifics on the Michelin tires you chose - they look good on what appears to be a stock suspended truck....thanks

 

No lift.
Michelin LTX AT2 - P265/65R17 on 17x9, zero offset. Very smooth and quiet.

 

If I could impose one more time for a pic or two showing where the wheel/tire sits in relation to the wheel well lip (ie poke). Trying to assess impact of 0 vs -12 offset... Thank you

 

Not a problem at all.
Zero will be about flush with the edge of the flare depending on your wheel width. I have 9” wide wheels so they poke out about 1/4” at the most. An 8” wheel will probably be perfectly flush. I’ll take a couple of pictures tomorrow morning and send them via PM.

 

Thanks - I am currently thinking I will pretty much copy your setup but the wheels I am looking at are 17x9 -12 - will spend some time on the weekend looking for 17x9 0 offset wheels - cheers
