Another New Wheel, with 6" Backspace

[Spooled-up]

Matt,



When and where will these be available? Centerline's website only shows them in 6 lug. That would go good with 35x12. 5R17 Toyo M/T's and Kore suspension! I'm on the verge of buying wheels and tires and now you go and post this. I thought I had it all figured out!

I like that wheel alot . Where can you get those. My current wheels are nice but nothing like that. Are chrome or polished? Corey

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

NICE! Thanks for the update Matt

Now when they make 18s I'm all over 'em baby

Well its finally here! 17x8. 5 with 6" back space, 199. 00 ea

nice looking wheel, but they will require fender flares i think. . the wheel will stick out 1" more than stock... with my 315's on oem rims now, they are just flush... although, maybe i could get lucky and get some factory wheels off someone who upgrades to these

 

[Matt400]

nickleinonen- I measured my OE wheels @ 6" BS so these would stick out 1/2"



Vaughn- Don't know about 18's but Nichole said 20's might come later in the year.



Spooled-up & Corey- They are ready to order now but many Center Line distributors may not know about them yet. I sent off an email to Nicole who handled this project about your question and will post back. I know in this thread a few posts back part numbers were given.

Yes these wheels add 1/2" to the outside, quite acceptable in my book. Yes 315s would probably go beyond the fenderwell but by the time you're getting that big with tires, most won't fit within the fenderwell, or if they did they'd rub on something on the inside.



20s huh? If 20" tires weren't so darned expensive. . .

Vaughn,



Thanks for the post and the pics. Please let us know where we can get these wheels.

GM went from discs to drums in the rear because of road debris in the calipers?? :-laf :-laf



That's right up there with Ford dropping pilot injection onf the 6. 0 cause the couldn't get it working right. :-laf



Sometimes I think Dodge may just have the best engine AND the best engineering overall ... .

not true, only on 1500's. neighbor just took delivery of an 05 3500, and it has discs in the rear.

True. . My local tire guy can get LT275/65R20 for 256. 00 ea and they are rated to 3750 lbs. I ran that tread for several years in a 31/10. 50 15 and it was great. Low noise, excellent traction and they don't pick up rocks with that tapered tread.

Just got an email from Nicole and here is what she had to say. .

You can order the wheel directly thru Center Line. The wheels are $200/each. If you guys have any questions or would like to order, I can be reached at the number below. thanks, nicole

Weld also sells wheels with +22mm offset... a little over 6" backspacing. You can get all the EVOs with this offset. I just picked up some new chrome Renegades 18x9. 5 for $300 a pop at Performance Wheel in Denver.

Luke I LOVE the Renegades, my favorite Weld by far! NICE looking ride

You're running some pretty good meats on there. $300 a pop is an excellent price, I've never seen them for less than $500 ANYWHERE!



Like I've posted before though, +22 offset isn't enough for me, needs to be the +40mm factory offset so the wheels extend out very little. Backspace would need to be 6. 75" on a 9. 5" wheel to match factory offset. Believe me if the Renegade came in +40 a set would already be on my truck!



Matt, nice suggestion, thanks!

 

[Luke Warmwater]

Vaughn, yup your right regarding 9. 5" wide. Don't quote me but I think they have that offset in the 8. 5" wide wheels too.
