17" Wheel Replacements

[lars464]

I am also going to go with these rims on a Magnetic Scap (if it ever gets here). I would like to rim to extend out just 1 more inch than the factory spec. What off set will achieve this?

Please excuse the auto corrected typo mistakes. Ugh.....

Those are 3000 for a set



You're helping make my point offset preference aside

I'll bet you have some sort of aftermarket wheel on your truck within 18 months. This isn't my first rodeo. Just trying to help other people not make your mistake

No mistake here, I already have a set of aftermarket forged wheels waiting for her

I'm just highlighting that the beadlocks are a structurally much better wheel than some of the other suggestions, but I agree with you they are not the prettiest ones out there

You may already know this but the stock wheel is:
2017 Raptor Stock Wheel Info

Stock Tires: 315/70r17
Stock Wheels 17x8.5
Offset: +34

I love Fuel Wheels and may put the "Pump" wheels on mine. If you don't want them to stick out much stick with an offset close to +34. Any number lower than that will move the wheel out that far in mm. So an offset of 0 would move your wheels out about 1.5" which you said you didn't want.

PS: I like the Fuel Recoil. If you get them post pictures as I can't decide what to get either.

One more thing you have to watch out for is bolt pattern... 6x135 for Raptor.
That eliminated some of the 17" wheels today from my list.
The fuel Recoil has an offset of +7 on the 17" wheel in 6x135 BP

Have you considered a military looking wheel? offset 12, 9.5w.

Just realized these wheels would not have any brake dust!

Bill, I have to say that wheel leaves a lot to be desired.

There is a helpful thread with gen 2 wheel pics in various offsets to show how far they stick out.

Personally I'm going with Fuel Beast 17 x 9 +1 and hope they don't rub on the flares when I go off road since that will put me about 2" out more then stock wheel.

My wheel criteria:
- Black or polished aluminum only, no chrome at all including lugnuts or trim, I also prefer gloss black, my last set of wheels matte black were hard to clean and scratched easy.
- Offset 0-20ish, no reason to go stock offset when buying new wheels.
- Width is negligible since most tires fit the range of 8.5 to 9.5.
- 17" since more tire is better for off-road
- No fake beadlocks, real deal or none at all
- Weight rating 2200lbs or better
- Most important - something not everybody has... I like to be a trend setter not late to the game, copy cat, cuz it was cheap, too many options out there!

Take a look at Centerline. The Wilderness series is rated at 3200lbs. I did the Vector on my Gen-1 and they weighed under 25 lbs. Saved more than 10lbs/wheel over stock.
