I haven't been able to find any in my price or style range. If i liked the way they looked they were probably beed locks and cost a million per wheel and if I could afford them they were butt ugly or had terrible back spacing (ie, designed for a car)


Can you guys post some 17X10's that youve seen around, or know of? Would be much appreciative!

I know American Eagle has some 17x10's. For example the 137 series come in 17x10 and are an affordable price. Great look to them!!!
And all their backspacings are around 4.5 or less.

Thanks jkfreak!


Any one know how important wheel weights are on jeeps? I realize theres a ton of unsprung weight because the live axles but do heavy or light rims/tires make any noticable difference?

The ones you posted are nearly 40lbs a wheel Freek. But I like the look.


I would just get the procomp 16X10's (21 lbs) but they don't make the tire I like in a 16 inch model. Errrrr!

What tire are you looking at?

The 17x10 wheels appear to weigh in quite a bit more than the 17x8 or 17x9's. Im sure the heavier the wheels it will make the same differences as larger tires... Power, Gas mileage, ect should be effected.

Thats what I was thinking, the tires I like are pro comp extreme all terrain, they don't make a 37 in 16.

The all terrain and extreme all terrain from pro comp are two of the only tires that offer a warrranty in the off road market, atleast of tires that are any good offroad. I remember another brand with an off name I can remember at the moment, they too offered a warranty, 50k miles or some thing, but the tire itself was rated very poorly off road/mud/sand/trails by comprarison.

hmmmmmmmmm, I just looked at the pro comp extreme all terrain tires on thier website... It says they make:

37/13.50R16 part number:56325
37/12.50R17 par number:571237

Or you could just go with a prooven reliable and tough tire like the BFG KM2?

Shoots! That settles it then....... pro comp 16X10 and 325/80/16 Xtreme A/T's.

Man there's about 20 mud terrains that I'd rather have than the pro comp A/T, however the soft compound just doesn't seem to hold up very long. Here's in hawaii i'm afraid a set of soft compound MT's will turn to gum and wither away.



All the reviews ive read on MT's are mixed, fred got 40k miles but barney only got 12k........ for the price of 37's, a warranty is attractive.

Trail Ready dot com offers some 17x 10 and 17x 14 rims with bead locks.
