Yes 34.4 I believe to be exact. I have a set on 2017 Raptor beadlocks waiting to be put on my 2010 Lariat, along with the Readylift 2" front level.

They are advertised as a 35" tire, but yes when you do the math they are around 34 12" tall. And sadly if you take a tape measure to them while they are mounted on the truck they actually only end up being around 33" tall.

You are correct. The raptor wheels are true bead lock wheels - when you buy the bead lock ring. The Raptor wheels are actually what's called a hybrid wheel; i.e., they can be either. But they are only DOT legal when in non-bead lock configuration. If you run the BL rings, and truly mount the tire that way, they are not road legal.

Sorry I wasn't more specific in my previous post. Just lazy I guess...

My reference to the Hutchinson's was to point out that they are the only bead lock wheels available that have attained a DOT certification.

This is how retail works and how business works. More power to you if you can get enough people together to purchase in bulk, that would be great for everyone involved, but not always practical.

I'm happy with $125/wheel honestly.

My question now is what can I reasonably sell my stock 18s and tires for?
Wheels and tires have 12,000 miles. What have you guys sold you stock wheels and tires for?
^ i wish i could find them for that cost..... seem to be about $800-900
and no center caps no tires

This is the best raptor wheel / 17" and look great on any color F150

I have to go pick up a brand new set of 2014 Bead Locks this weekend. I'll be posting them in the classifieds as i don't need them anymore. I traded my truck in for a 2018 and dont' plan on putting them on it. If anyone is interested just PM me.

Firestone damaged mine, so i got them to buy me new ones

If anyone is interested. Randy Marion Ford, in Statesville NC, has a new take off set with tires for 1400.

I am about to run the same setup but with the '17 rims. Did you add or change the rear block or did you leave the stock one alone with the front at the max setting?
