Does anyone know of a 17" wheel that will fit on the knuckles of a 6" lift kit?
All the specs for RC/BDS/Zone require at least 18", but there's a particular tire I want to run that only comes in 17". That and a smaller wheel is always better. I'm planning on a 4.5"ish backspacing, additional spacers if necessary.
Customwheeloffsets has a handful of trucks like that, but I'm not sure how trustworthy that is.

none will fit unless you use a 2 1/2" spacer cost me a few hundred to learn that lesson

Like race am said, I also learned the hard way

So I'd need to come up with 2" backspacing and have the wheels stick out like a wallmart crawler. 34's on 18"s it is.

So i am in the same boat here. I want to run a 35x12.5 on a 17 inch wheel. From what ive heard, readylift has a 7 inch lift that takes can use a 17 inch wheel. But i have not seen or heard anything that confirms this.

while it is a 7 inch lift, i believe the diff drop is around 5 inches so it should work with a 6 inch spacer/coilover. If anyone can confirm that a 17 inch whee will work, that would be great!

Stage3 said the ReadyLift kit works with 17" wheels. And the fox 2.5" coilovers can be adjusted an extra inch for the increased lift.
That kit is damn expensive though, does anyone have experience with Readylift products?

My Setup is a 4" RC lift with a 1.5" front level and an AAL in the back. Wheels are Method Double Standard 17x8.5 +0 offset. 35x12.5 Nitto Ridge Grapplers, minor plastic trimming to avoid rubbing, nothing banging into the knuckles. not sure if you have the same generation truck I do, but it is possible to run 17's with a 4 or 6" lift without any other wheel spacers etc. for our 12th gen trucks.

I think rancho lift might also fit 17s with the proper backspacing (4.5-5") Ive seen some guys on here running them with last gen and ive seen a guy on custom offsets gallery with a 2016 or 2017? running a rancho lift with 17s with 4.5" Backspacing.

did you ever end up trying this out? Currently have 17s with 0 offset and I am looking into the readylift kit. They said will work with “most aftermarket 17” wheels” but don’t specify exact backspacing. I called them and they said they cannot guarantee it. I talked to a shop that installs a lot of these and they said it might fit. So frustrating not being able to get a definitive answer. Can’t really get the lift installed and your truck is stuck on the lift because your tires don’t fit lmao. Don’t wanna have to get another wheel and tire setup I just got these 6 months ago.
