aftermarket wheel choices

[varova87]

at the shop I work at, we couldnt seem to find ANY steel wheels to fit the lug pattern on my D1, everything is too small. we searched AR, Pro Comp, Pacer, etc... When you all run AR or those pro comp steel wheels, what lug pattern and mm offset are you all running? do you have to use adapters?

15x7 and sometimes 15x8

I ran my 33x10.50x15 on 15x7 with 9lbs without any bead popage, I did pinch a few rocks which leak out. They are cheap and tuff.. my wife wonders where my hub caps are.

 

[varova87]

so through my work, i can get AR wheels at cost..ill go with a 15x8, but what lug pattern will fit my D1?

running 33s, did you beef up your CVs or axles any? im almost worried about wheeling hard with 32s

 

[justinhaaga]

yeah they are AR i believe.

i am running stock CVs and yes they break alot when I wheel it hard. Not much in terms of "HD" cv's on the market now, rovertracks is coming out with a nice HD set due in the next 30-45 days. $700 for set.

the pattern you need is 5 on 6.5" with either a 4" or 4.5" backspacing.

there's plenty of people on this board (including myself) running 33's on stock driveline components with minimal breakage. as long as your axles aren't locked you shouldn't have too much trouble with those 32's.

The smart thing to do is to get someone to fab a spacer with a jeep or gm or whatever bolt pattern and then you have a vast array of choices of rims. :victory:

5x6.5 lug pattern...i cant find it ANYWHERE. procomp doesnt make one, AR doesnt make one, atleast as far as i can see. yet, i see D1s with these wheels often online. is the only way to run them is with adapters? or am i missing something?

 

[crown14]

you are missing something.

call GCR, get the AR part number, call your supplier with the part number... end of saga.

you might save $10 per wheel getting them at cost vs. buying them from GCR.

 

[varova87]

thats a good idea. yeah, one of the guys i work with said that steel wheels through our company cost about as much as dinner at red lobster for one. im cool with paying $25 a wheel.

I just bought some 16x8's direct from AR ... you should count on "dinner for two" per wheel

Oh, and add shipping to that too.

 

[jhmover]

Atlantic British sells steel wheels for D1's, too.

 

[johnvigg]

The black steel nato wheels are on sale at atlantic british last i checked. They are defiently hevier duty than the AR's

Keith, did you manage to get the 5x6.5 lug pattern? do you have a part number for those by any chance?
