?? Wheelers steelies alternatives ??

I'm hopping to open the discussion, if it hasn't been already, about a suitable cheap, steel, off road rim, that clears control arms for guys running a mid travel setup. The word I'm hearing is that wheelers stopped selling their steel wheels because of issues they were having with the manufacturer. Is it possible to go straight to the manufacturer? are there any alternatives out there that would be suitable off road? and be able to: clear the brake caliper, give 4.5" backspacing, and as a bonus still be able to run TPMS

 

Procomp series 87T Make sure they are the 87T not the 87. The 87T is supposed to be for toyotas.

 

do they make those in a 4.5" backspace that you are aware of?

 

Ewww my bad I forgot about that. Ehhhh not that I'm aware of.

 

I'd go that route but I hear steelies are quite heavy. Perhaps I am wrong.

 

Yes they are. Mine are 33-37# a piece then add a 66# tire ouch. Hope I never get a flat.

 

you don't have any rubbing issues with your mid travel setup? where did you get the 87Ts?

 

I'm not actually running a mid travel setup. Just a ome 3" lift. My bad didn't see that when I read your op. But no I have lots of room between the JBA uca's and the tires. But they are 16" rims so I have like 1/4" between the rim and caliper.

 

Im having a hard time finding the 87Ts anywhere, where did you get yours?

 

Whoops just saw this. Did you ever find them? I think I had got them from 4wd.com or 4wheelparts.com I can't really remember. But I think I had paid like 75$ a wheel.

@M192 did you feel the weight difference in the wheels when you changed? How is the finish holding up? Any rust?

 

Yeah. Not too bad. But like I said I went from like 50# wheel/tire combo to like 100# wheel/tire combo. The finish is great. It is only rusting where I have rock rash. I fix that with spray paint.

 

Awesome thanks for the input.

 

I ended up getting them at 4wheelparts. They gave me a courtesy call and said that they wouldn't fit. And if I had them pre-mounted and balanced then I wouldn't be able to return the tires if they didnt fit my truck. Low and behold, the 87t fit my 2015 off road just fine.
