So does RCD , I run 17"x9" 4.5" BS.

 

Umm yeah...so your tie rod ends connect to your spindles and your spindles are a fixed object. Where your tie rod end connects to the spindle is a not something you can change or trim to create clearance for a rim either...and trimming your outer tie rod end is suicide...therefore me thinks you done confused having to trim your inner tie rod length a bit to get your toe adjustment pulled in where you wanted it. What these boys are discussing is the back side of the rim clearing the tie rod end.

 

Yea, I honestly didnt know which end was trimmed I just know it had to happen when I warrantied my rack. That is something I had the dealer do. The alignment shop ended up trimming the inner after I swapped the uppers and lowers.
I do know that shit was close to my tie rods and I couldn't run clip weights on the inner wheel.

Oh well, that trucks been gone a year and I dont miss it.

 

PC "suggests" running 18" rims... read the instructions.

 

Thanks

 

I bought it directly from the dealer, 3 years old with 15k on it. From what I was told it was one of the 1st ones "modded" by the dealership. Whoever bought it first, never drove it. All I saw was low miles and a buch of mods that i didnt need to buy. I was pretty nieve then.

 

if anyone knows wheels. 17x8.5 - 0 offset - 108 centrebore - I need 17x8.5 or 9 and 3.5 back spacing. Been trying to figure out what I need to do to run a 17" run on this dang BDS kit. Calling all gurus. Or I want to know what I could do to run a 17"? Perhaps ?

 

8.5 wheel with 0 offset is a 4.75 bs. If you are looking for 3.5 bs the offset would need to be -32 and on a 9" wheel it would have to be -38.

 

Perfect! The method beadlocks I want are 17x9 -38 offset 3.5 BS. So these would work??

 

You're going to daily drive real bead locks ?

 

Why nat? I have on board air, any reasons besides air and the fact they are illegal?

mawfux wan fine me

 

Quick google on a jeep forum taught me... Damn, lose air, bolts come loose, they are not balanced, yaddayaddayadda... These were the only 17s I could find with the 3.5 BS so far... Ill keep looking, guess its street rims for me

 

SCS understands our needs for wheels

 

BTW, I went with 175 psi to start. What were you running in them?

 

175! Start 150 is typically recommended

 

Right but I wanted to try 175 based on some other research I've done and a few folks I've talked to. I can easily go down. Thinking I may want a nitrogen bottle and fill adapter

 

I went with 150 psi and the soft setting and it rode like butta'
