Mass buy on 17" US mag wheels

[JeffG]

I am so considering this! Need to upgrade my wheels and tires and 17's just make sense.

 

[gnsteam]

I called in my order today for a set of 5.;D

Are 17" better for reasons other than fitting oversized brakes ?

More tires to choose from ?

 

[bigjhoov]

There are getting to be fewer 15" tire choices, but the 17's also cost more. I was recently in the market for some new tires. The price difference between a 35-12-50 15" and 17" was more than $100 each.

I'm glad BC has stepped up to make this happen. I really like the look of the 17" slots on Karl Bradley's Twisted Customs buggy.

I'm hoping with the 17" diameter and 3.5" back spacing of the wheels. They will clear the 76-77 tie rod ends, without having to run wheel spacers. The Indy 15" with the 4"+ back spacing will not. And you never know when you might need those bigger disc brakes. Anyone up for a Coyote hunt?;D

Will these work with the 14" kits or just the 12.88"?

I talked with both Wilwood and US Mags and they both say the wheels will fit with the 14" brake kit.

How close is this to happening? I am trying to figure out the direction I want to go on my street rig & 17" wheels would be a great option. Thanks

I have chevy flat top knuckles with the chevy calipers and I will be doing the T.R.O. Will these work for what I have?? If so I will go for 5ea 17x9...I will call your shop to get on the list if they will fit my set up without having to run spacers. Please let me know...

Is the black and polished the same amount of money?

 

[LoneRanger]

Bump for an update?

L.R.

 

[Cactus killer]

We got 3 more orders today.
Tell your friends lets get this MB finished
Most guys are ordering 5 so it is moving quicker than with 4.

 

[twisted 66]

I am in for 5, Will call shop next week since they are closed now.

I'm having a hard time choosing between 15" & these.

Go with the 17" IMHO. This has nothing to do with the fact we need more wheel purchases to get them our coming way or anything just saying.;D..
