I just picked up some Icon Delta Joints for my 2017. It has the stock non beadlock wheels. Anyone installed the UCA's and used stock wheels. Icon calls for 5 backspace and from everything I find it says stock wheels are 5 back. Can anyone confirm that before I get them in and find out my wheels dont work.

Stock wheels are 6" back. I had one customer use some 5.5" back wheels without issue but not a 6" back

Do you recall if the 5.5 was right there or had a little wiggle room.


It did have some room. I spoke to Icon about how they cam to the 5" number. It is more precautionary on their part to account for tire flex and full droop clearance. I might have a pic of the 5.5" somewhere. I'll see if I can find it.

Dang thats going to be close. Do you suggest I put in a small wheel spacer until I get new wheels with the different offset?

I'd try to wait for new wheels. If you run a 1/2" spacer I'd recommend an ET lug (extended thread) but they don't offer them for OEM wheels. Method MR701's are on special if you're interested.
