Wheel Vintiques 17x7 Wheel on a LUBR

[rbella]

I hammered the forums looking for info and I found many conversations close but nothing that was specific enough, so sorry to kick the horse again. I'm ready to purchase Wheel Vintiques 17x7 Steelies with backspacing of 4 5/8". Is anyone running or seen these on a LUBR? They will be wrapped in 265/70/17 BFG ATs. Thanks guys

I don’t have any answers for you but I’m going to keep an eye on this thread as I need to sort out my setup as well.

What’s your setup for suspension & body lift?

I’m running stock with a 2” body for 6r80 tunnel spacing.

Here are a few from Bring a Trailer. You can look them up on the website for details.

Currently has Toms 2.5 suspension lift with no body lift. Axle moved 1" back.

Those look like smoothies from Wheelsmith? no?

Ryan- look up Migs. He is a member/ vendor here. He and another member are running 17" Dodge Steel wheels.

Ok great thank you! I’m Surprised not more members are running Wheel Vintiques 17x7s

Similar sized wheels. 265/70-17

Any idea on brand wheel and backspacing?

 

[rbella]

Perfect looking Bronco Duffy! That is the exact wheel \tire package we are shooting for. I'm only trying to plan out if I am going to need to take it as far as your build by narrowing axle as well as going back 1". Thanks!

These are it. Hope this helps. I’m looking to add some hub caps but for now you can get a good representation of the wheel vintique in 17x7

 

[duffymahoney]

I wish they had the correct pockets and not just smooth. My wheels were stupid stupid expensive.

 

[hummerdan]

I purchased the smoothies, not sure if they offer the steelies in another style

Last time I asked they didn't. My circle racing customs were just too much. They machine the middles (poorly) then weld to pre made hoops, then charge huge money. So dumb.

Thanks for the examples. The wheel Vintiques 17x7 with 4 5/8” just sounds like lots of backspacing. But looks like it’s being done.

Hi Hummerdan - Are the pictures you posted the 17x7 wheel vintique or is that another similar brand? This is the set up I am going for, but I would like to confirm to be exact.

What lift (suspension & body) you are running?
What tire size are these wrapped in?
Did you have any issues fitting the 17x7 wheel vitiques and tires with your lift?

They are from Wheel Vintique, no issues. Wheels rubbed on radius arm when first installed but the stop bolts were adjusted

2.5” Suspension
2” Body Lift
285/70R17

I don't think you have to narrow with my current wheel / tire package.

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.
