I think i found the EDGE truck Wheels

[XcumminsX]

here they are





Can anyone clearify if these are the wheels on that edge truck?







You can get the 20" x 9" wheels for 340 each!







Maybe a group buy can be set up?

and we can get them for even less?





JUST IN : i went on tirerack.com and looked for some tires for these wheels.



Yokohama Geolandar h/t-s g052 weight rating is just over 3000 lbs and the threads look aggresive and they have a good rating in all categorys... They are 250 each





Now if i can only find about 2400 bucks laying on the ground somewhere i can get them

Those are the wheels. They're sweet but mucho $$$$$$$$!



I'd rather invest the extra cash in air ride suspension and get some less expensive Eagle Alloy wheels.

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

Spooled-up, obviously you haven't wheel-shopped for a 3/4 ton pickup lately, 'cause at $340 those wheels are a DEAL!!



Well I wonder what the weight rating, offset at backspacing are for those wheels? My guess is they're the typical "wheels stick out too far" variety

Seem pricey to me too. Considering the Ultra Type 56 polished six shooter wheels can be had for $155. 00 each. Not a bad looking wheel and about half the price,although they are a 17". I was quoted $1,445. 00 otd for them with 315/70-17 A/T tires. The Ultra Type 164 polished does come in a 18"Any horror stories about Ultras i should know about?

Vaughn,

I have actually been shopping for wheels for my 2500. I got a price of around $165. 00 for these Eagle Alloys:

 

[Spooled-up]

By the way, the Eagle wheels above are 18x9. 5, have +22mm offset, and have 6" backspacing. They are rated for 3420 lbs.



This is the closest wheel I have found to the factory offsets yet is still oversized. I'm not sure if they would actually work with a 33 or 35" tire on there, but they might. They don't have the negative offset that makes other wheels stick out so far.



I wish they made them in 17" sizes so I could put a set of Parnelli Jones load range E tires on them.

 

[Spooled-up]

These might also work. They are 18x8. 5 with +20mm offset, 5. 475 backspacing and a 3420 load rating.

 

[Spooled-up]

These wheels may not be forged, but they have more than the load rating I need and are half the price of the high end wheels. I think they look really good.

 

[Vaughn MacKenzie]

Spooled up you've done some good research!



The 18x8. 5 with +20mm offset/5. 475 BSM is not bad at all, reasonably close to OEM at least for a 4x4. With those specs they will stick out 0. 775" more than stock (add 0. 25" since they are 0. 5" wider, and add . 525" since they have that much less backspace than the stock 6. 00").

I think even with the 18x8. 5 and a 325/65R18 (a 35" tire), that the tire would be awfully close to the trailing arms. I think the trade off comes with the proper offset, the closer you are to the arms at full lock. With greater negative offset, you are farther away from the arms, but the tires stick out more and get closer to the bottom edge of the fender as the tire swings through it's travel.



Anyone have any pics of how close 35" tires get to the trailing arms?



How about some pics at full lock and at the closest point to the fender as the front wheel swings through it's travel?



Anyone out there with custom wheels care to take some pics?

 

[fencebuilders]

spooled-up,any way you can post a pic of the Eagle Alloy in a modular eight hole style?Or maybe a part #. Nice work. Thanks,Mark.

 

[XcumminsX]

so they'd stick out a a little more than a half inch compared to stock? How cares i love how they look

Here's a link to the Eagle Series 114



Here's the Series 133



Look on the left of the page and you can search by size.

This link will take you to the main RWD/SUV/Truck wheel page.



The above two wheels are the closest I have found to the factory offset. Most other wheels have negative offset which will make them stick out farther possibly interfering with the fender.



The Tire Fitment Guide on the National Tire and Wheel website says that Backspace is critical and that anything more than 4. 5" backspace will make the tires stick way out. I actually think it's more dependent on offset.



This thread has a pic I posted that explains offset and backspace. Positive offset has the mounting surface of the wheel closer to the outside of the wheel (outboard of centerline) and negative offset has the mounting surface inboard of centerline. I believe that the stock Dodge wheels have 6" of backspace and +40mm of offset.

 

[XcumminsX]

I try'd the link for national tire and wheel and it wont work. So how bad would the +20 offset be... It does have the 6" bs we are lookin for. I love those wheels, even better than the dge truck wheels.



Thx

[fencebuilders]

Spooled-up,excellent work. Thanks.

 

[Spooled-up]

The link works for me.

I reproduced the table below. I couldn't get the actual table to cut and paste where it would be readable





Make: Dodge

Models: 2500

Years: 03-up

Lug Size: 9/16"

Bolt Pattern: 8x6. 5





Lift: 0

Tire Size 285/70R17

Wheel size 17x8



Lift 2-3"

Tire size 33x12. 50R17

Wheel 17x8



lift 4"

Tire size 35x12. 50R17

Wheel 17x8



Lift 5-6"

Tire size 37x12. 50R17

Wheel 17x8





top of page Notes: 16" Wheels do NOT fit.

Wheel Offset is critical/Even 4. 5" Backside really stick out

 

[XcumminsX]

What does the offset of 22 MM mean? where on the wheel is this measurement taken. If ours is 40 stock would the 22 work or not?

This help you Nick?

 

[XcumminsX]

Ahh thank you. . Not sure what it meant when i was quickly browsing threw today. Now i understand. . So 18 mm difference in these wheels compared to the stockers.
