17.5 in wheel question
Does anyone make a 17.5 in rim in a 6-lug version? All I see is 8-lug. Thoughts?

None that I know of. But, I do have a friend who just upgraded everything back to the axle so that he could get 8-lug wheels and better brakes. I can grab a link or info from Facebook if you'd like.

17.5 wheels require lug studs 9/16".

No, that's OK, E--but thanks for the offer. I think I'll just get me a set of Sailun S637s, 235/80r16, and call it done. Better load and speed ratings than what came from FR, I don't think I need to get crazy$.

It's a great option if your rims can take the higher pressure.
