17” Wheel Thread

[Yeller]

Just as the title says, post up pics of your 17” wheels. If you know their manufacturer and specs please include them.

I’ll start it off

BTR beadlock’s, which are no longer available, if they were I’d own more of them. 8” wide 4-1/4” back spacing. The bolt pattern is 8x6.5

US Indy Slots. 17 x 9.

I don't have any pictures to post Steve, but I'm looking for some 17" wheels too. Actually, to be precise, 17.5" wheels 5 on 5.5". The '59 F100 4x4 had three options with wheel choices which were the 15" , 16", and the 17.5". The 17.5" were refered to as 'high clearance' wheels. Not meaning to get off track, but I just had to bring it up! ...and they will fit on a Bronco too! They accomodate the 'inside nub' dog dish style caps.

I so wish they offered those in 4.5” back spacing, I’ve been asking for a couple of years. Kept asking them for an 8 lug version too, I gave up and bought the BTR’s, couple of months later they were in the catalog it’s ok I’d of had a bunch of dollars in them having beadlocks out on them lol, and I like the BTR’s just as well.

Dennis, I like the idea, it will be unique for sure. I’d actually consider a 17” steel stock style wheel, I have an ever growing stack of poverty hub caps it’s just crazy what a wheel like that sells for

Cool story and wow!!, you had a bit of resources in that deal! I completely understand why a shipping company doesn't want any of the "pre-rolling prep" for something that's been dormant for so long. I know first hand how fetching relics from hibernation can take many times longer than I thought!!!

Sorry Yeller... Now, back to your wheels.....
