Default Eagle Alloy Series 185

Just wanting to confirm that the above mentioned wheels will have enough backspacing for me to run 35x12.50?

1852-8950 17x9 Black 5 on 5 -8 mm 4.625 3171-06 2100 lbs. 27 lbs.

I am thinking that these wheels with a set of Copper STT Discoverers would look pretty sharp on my Red Rock Pearl Rubi.

Thoughts?

Running a set of Eagle 140's (17x8) with that same BS and running 33x12.50R17's STT's and no issues of rubbing with a 3" lift on the stock fenders at full flex and disco'ed and no issues rubbing lock to lock. I am planning on going with 35x12.50R17 STT's this spring.

Thanks Mike, where did you pick them (the wheels) up from?

I have a line on some STT for $349/tire mounted and balanced, but haven't found anyone that is reasonable on the rims.

No worries Don. I picked up my wheels in town from Revelstoke Tire and at the time Eagle Alloy's ($105 or $120/rim it think) were on sale at about this time of year. Where did you find that price on the 35x12.50R17 STT's for mount and balance?

Ward Tires in Calgary, send them an email or hit their site and request a quote. I know that is trying to unload some Toyo Open Country MT's right now as well (very reasonably priced).

Thanks for the heads up on Ward tires....just sent them an email for a quote. I like the Toyo M/T's but they are so stinking heavy vs the STT. If you can get a set for a good price and not much wear I would jump on them.
