Eagle Wheels

I'm thinking about buying a set of Eagle's 058 series 8 hole aluminum wheels. Anybody have any thing to say about Eagle's?

Make sure you get the RIGHT SPECS! Correct specs for 2nd Gen truck are 5.5" backspace and +20mm offset (8" wide wheel). Wrong wheels means it wont be hubcentric and your bearings won't last very long.

I would encourage you to look at the Type 175 Eagle wheels. Yes, they're 18", but the specs are right on. They're perfect for the new Toyo and Nitto tires and look SWEET. Not to mention they're only $192 each and rated to 3420 lbs!

If you've ever seen a CTD riding on 18" wheels and 35" tires, you'd be hooked.

Actualy the math on 5.5" back space and 20mm (.75" aprox.) offset on an 8" wode wheel does not add up. 5.5" backspace on an 8' wheel will result in at least 1.5" offset (38mm). Actualy I read that the spec is 6.25" backspace.
