What size rim?

[Russell]

Just bought myself a set of 41x14.5x17" Irok radials for my K5. Since I have to buy new rims anyways, I'd like to buy a set of beadlock rims.

Anyways, what width would you run for these tires? Interco recommends a 17x12" rim, but they are 2x the cost of the smaller width rims. Also, what would you guys suggest for backspacing? I am running a SRW D60 up front. I would prefer steel wheels, but can settle for forged aluminum. My truck's front tires frequently leave the ground, so I don't want to run cast.

Any suggestions for brands?

I've run 8" and 10" wide wheels with my 42" IROKs, the 10's are better. I wouldn't do 12" wide wheels on those tires.

I have Allied beadlocks on my own rig and I like them a lot (got them before I worked for ORD). We sell Trailready's which are REALLY awesome but they are aluminum and they aren't cheap.

10" be just fine.

Ok, good deal! Makes wheels much more affordable...

Now, would you guys put all 5 tires on beadlocks, or just 4? What would you guys run for backspacing?

I ran 2.75" on a 15x8, probably a little much. I now run a 15x10 with 3.5" backspacing and I like it a lot.
