Has anyone used Pro Comp series 97 or 98 steel wheels? I want to get the 17x9's, but want to ensure the backspacing they offer is good and there is a decent rim bead on them.

It's decent and pretty typical but order 5 cause they arent the straightest wheels ever made. What bolt pattern?
This is how they look in 17x9 8x6.5 on one tons. Rears have spacers.

It'll be just like yours; 17x9", 8x6.5 pattern, running 37's. Is there a decent bead lip on the wheels? Looks like the backspacing of 4.5" is good too. Thanks!! Nice looking rigs.
It's decent. About average.

I've been meaning to ask you about those wheels.
I just ordered some 97's
I will be reporting once I get them on

I look forward to it. Where'd you order them from, and a basic question...what is the difference between the 97's and 98's?
wheels87k5: what backspacing is on yours with 37's? I thought they only came in 4.5", but then saw some with 3.5". I just want to make sure I go the right way.

Mine are at 4.5" backspacing.
I had these in the 16x9, 4.5" backspace and it cleared 1-tons just fine. So you should be more than ok with 17's. I added beadlocks though. I was running 42's on them
EDIT: now that I think about it, I think I was running the same wheels on my M1009, but 16.5s with 37" hummer tires. They were also just fine

Not yet.
That's a first negative about 4wparts

Any luck getting your wheels yet? What lug nuts do you plan on running?
Nothing yet.
I am starting to get angry...

Surprising since it seems they push Pro Comp products A LOT! You'd think they'd have better availability. I am torn between running closed or open ended lug nuts this next round.
Which part number did you order? I can log in and check availability for you.
I just checked and first I ordered the 87 series not 97.
Second they have not processed the order yet, no estimated shipping date yet.
I will check my card see if they charged me yet, if not I am calling customer service in the morning and if they will not ship within 24 hours I am cancelling the order.

I ended up ordering a set. Pro Comp 97's, 17"x9" with 4.25" backspacing. They were straight too out of the box, even though the UPS guy was a little rough with them. Mounted 37"x12.5"r17" Milestar Patagonia MT's on them and used airsoft pellets for balancing. I ran them on the street today for about 50 miles and it was smooth and quiet. I'm looking forward to getting them out in the dirt on Memorial Day weekend!!
