Got New Wheels

[FLeeDog]

Looks badass! Subtle, yet aggressive. Much better than any OEMs I have seen on a Gen II.

They look great! I think the offset on the Fuel Wheels are same as stock rims. From the pic I see you live in my neighborhood, I won’t mention where that is. I have the silver Gen 1 a few blocks over from you.

They are not the same as stock. Both the OE Raptor 17s -- the cast (standard) wheel and optional forged "beadlocks" for both 2017-2018 and new 2019 -- are all 17x8.5 ET34 (+34).

The Fuel options for this wheel (D680) in Raptor bolt pattern are 17x9 and either -12 or +1 offsets ... the latter being the safest. Even so, assuming stock 315/75/17 tires, the Fuel with ET1 (+1 offset) will be a little more than an inch further out than stock (27mm of "poke"). The -12 is more than an inch and a half further out (40mm of poke).

*edited - incorrectly posted OE wheel width as 8 inches, versus the correct width of 8.5 inches (17x8.5 ET34). Thus the impact of the Fuel's offset(s) is less aggressive than I'd originally noted

Yep. Their a +1 from the factory. I machined 3mm off the pad so I believe that makes them a +4 offset. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Who did you have mill them? Any reason not to do more than 3mm? Based on my Venom Rex V601s at 9-inch wide and +12, that's the perfect balance between "rock chucker" and stock. (And even so, there's evidence my tires/wheels stick out beyond stock ... heh).

Love this design ... just wish they weren't so portly, and had a less aggressive offset.

The weight and aggressive offset might be a dealbreaker for me. I may need to see some more pictures of the wheels mounted on others Raptors

Thanks everyone! Figured yall would like to see something new/different. Had a buddy that got me these pretty early.

Not creepy at all... jk stop by and say hi sometime. I'm always outside doing something.

That looks great! Where did you get black painted bolts?

This was mission! Spent 5 hours trying to find bolts to paint myself or find coated bolts. A 7mm long bolt in M8x1.25 doesn't exist. Basically bought direct from the parent company to Fuel. It was better to do this anyway because they are powder coated from Fuel and it matches the beadlock ring perfectly. Not to mention their powder is super durable. I was able to install all 96 of these bolts with a deep socket with no protection on the socket and it didn't scratch any bolts.

The Fuel Rebels are sick! Thank you for posting this. I’m looking at getting a set of the bronze 17’s in +01 offset on my Lead Foot.

Should be nice!

Yep that's my style. Don't like loud. Also why I already pulled off the stickers.

Found some really good guys in North Las Vegas. I went 3mm based on the pad thickness. Didn't want to take away from the structural integrity of the wheel. Might could have gotten away with 1mm more. I can post some before and afters. And same I don't like wheels sticking out. Even after the mill their more aggressive than I'd like but I'm gonna live with it. I do believe +12 is perfect.

The weight and aggressive offset might be a dealbreaker for me. I may need to see some more pictures of the wheels mounted on others Raptors

I'll see if I can get some more pics tomorrow.

Looks great. I love the design, and was going to order these the other day ... Until I learned they were 34 lbs, and the offset a bit aggressive. But damn do they look good.

Rob O what kind of wheels you have? Your picture looks really good - Looking for a set without too much overhang myself

Thanks.

I'm running Vorsteiner's Venom Rex VR601 in 20x9 ET12 fitment. I think that's the perfect set up for the Raptor.

They have a 17x9 ET12 now as well (VR602).

You have a great eye Rob O! Good Photography as well! What tires are you running and lift please!
