Wheel Vintiques 17x7 Wheel on a LUBR

[Mark1911]

Not a LUBR, but I do have Wheel Vintiques "Gennie 14 Series" that I am in the process of installing. It appears they don't offer this style in a 17x7.

I'm not a fan of the multiple bolt pattern when not using a cap. I got lucky and got these from another member who changed their mind on these. The box says "custom" probably best to call them first.

Specs on these are:

17x8 4.5" backspacing. Tires are 315/70/17 BFG KO2 for reference. 2nd pic is turned full lock to verify radius arm clearance.

JeffG, In regard to your wheels, did you measure the backspace before you installed them? just wondering because I am in the process of purchasing that very same wheel from Wheel Vintiques but "custom ordered" in 4" backspace.
I wonder if that's why the box is marked "custom"

JeffG, I can't seem to find within myself to make the decision of 4" or 4.5" backspace, Mine is Not a luber either.
I am looking at BF Goodrich KO2, 34X10.5 R17 mostly because I think I like the raised white letters.

Mark, I bought these off a guy who had ordered 4.5" b/s for his LUBR, but changed his mind before installing. If I had ordered myself, I would have gone with 4" backspace just because I am running a 315/70/17, which is about 12.5" wide tire. The rear is only about 1/4" away from the shock so I am going to install 1/4" spacers to gain a little more clearance. One other thing (personal preference) is the front hub. I prefer it being set inward a little.

With that said, you will have more clearance with the 10.5 tire, so keep that in mind.

JeffG.
Thank you very much for the reply, I agree with you in regard to the hub being inset a bit or at least flush with the wheel lip.
Thanks again for your help.
