Re: 17" Steel Wheels 8x6.5
You would have to get those 17"s custom made via Stockton Wheel or another widening shop. 16"s are the only option for a dog dish accepting steel wheel. Only other alternative is using a Dodge Steel Rally looking 8 lug wheel. I believe those are 17"s. You can't go wrong with a set of US INDY MAGS though, I have a set of 17x10"s for my crew cab. I also have a set of the 16x10"s steelies on my crew cab currently.

Re: 17" Steel Wheels 8x6.5
I hit up Stockton wheels, they can make the Series 22 and Power Wagon wheels in 17x8 and 17x9s.
They can cut the 20 series into 17s but that would require a 5.5" back spacing which would require some spacers on my part. Wasnt sure if there was anyone else that makes that stock looking series 20 wheels in a 17x8 or 17x9 in a 4-4.25" backspacing. 13 |

Hey man, I moved to Austin about 4 years ago...... not sure if you have seen it, but I built a set of 17x9" steelies that came out pretty good. HMU if you want to check them out sometime. -G "I found your thread on CK5 and made the mistake of clicking on it.

Yeah it paints a pretty vivid picture, I could almost imagine that scene. Gave me a chuckle all those years ago when he first posted it, so I've used it as my .sig ever since. -G

Re: 17" Steel Wheels 8x6.5
I think there is a huge gap in the market for 17x9 wheels for both 6 and 8 lug options.
If someone made an affordable ($250 ea.) 17x9 cast aluminum wheel that replicated the factory steel wheels and accepted the factory dog dish caps, you wouldn't be able to keep up with the demand. Modern tire sizes, lighter weight and still keep the OG look...killer combo. Sounds like an opportunity for Coy's. |

Not to sidetrack the thread, but do you have a pic of your crewcab with the 17x10 US Indy mags on it ? Those are beautiful wheels, wish they came a bit narrower (8", 9" wide) for street tires. |
