Default Guys with Walker Evans BL wheels??

What would be a good BS for the 17" wheels? I currently have 285/70-17 KM2's, but then going up to 35x12.5-17 MTR (the new one), then going to 37x12.5-17. Also, are they balanceable and how do the run on the road? Any problems?

Thanks,
Kyle.

I'm looking at Allied 17 x 9.5" beadlocks for 37 x 12.50 KM2s and asked the same question.

It is my impression that we should run 4" of backspacing. Does anyone recommend anything different?

4" is about right 4/25 will work .

My WE beadlocks have 36" iroks on them and they only took .75 ounces of weights to balance them.

If anybody is looking for a set let us know we sell a ton of them and can hlep you spec out the exact wheel that will work for you.
