5x108 Bolt Pattern is a pain

[Hucci]

Anyone find it hard to find nice wheels out their with this bolt pattern? Not a huge selection to pick from in my experience. Any brands you guys recommend that:

• Looks a little rugged but it isn't super crazy looking like fuels
• Under $200 per wheel
• Is 17in and 5x108

Only ones I can find that look pretty nice are KMCs.

Konig makes several. Good wheels, decent tech, mostly under $200.

It's a little more limited but there are a lot of options. Don't forget the 35 offset. Most are too "flashy" for me. I'd rather just use the OEM or get a set of true steel rims. Just takes a lot of searching. They are out there.

Not a ton out there yet, most vehicles with the same bolt pattern have a lot more offset, and are street oriented vehicles.

There’s the Alphaequipt Foxtrot, but it’s $225 per wheel.

I got cheap 16” steel rims to work. Thread here.

Where did you find those steelies? I've been looking for some to run snow tires.

Edit: Nevermind, I found your other post in the Tires & Wheels section. Looks very nice!

Love these from Black Rhino, but they're $201 on Amazon. Maybe you could find them cheaper elsewhere. https://www.amazon.com/Black-Rhino-Unit-5x108-Wheel/dp/B0876QDYTW/?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_w=0mSWd&pf_rd_p=e50191c7-cd05-48fa-9005-8d02c2448fe4&pf_rd_r=C2FVSDVR8VTP3083WP0C&pd_rd_r=d2bb7b41-6bbd-47db-955b-c8b79e9d8b40&pd_rd_wg=4fBKF&ref_=pd_gw_crs_wish

Found them on CarID.com for $616 for a set of 4.

I ended up going with Alpha's, I was a little worried but once I saw them on I knew I made the right choice.

Yes 5x108 bolt pattern is a big Pain in my butt right now, I have actually started to look at some Lug Adapters, seeing if maybe I can safely go to 5x114.5, and find some 16in rims that I actually really like.

Edit: this probably isn't going to work, as the spacer throughs everything way off and you end up needing something like a +60 offset, which is still hard to find, otherwise you push your like an inch further out which probably?? is going to cause issues with rub...

Can't someone please just make some Soft 8's in 5x108 already....

Does the offset have to be 35? Can it be 40?

That was my understanding is yes it can deviate from 37.5 but the closer the better. This explains it really well regarding handling, camber, and positive vs negative offset

If you go to much higher then the standard +37.5 it’s going to push your wheel/tire in closer and will also look odd, if you go to much lower then +37.5, or even into negative offset it’s going to push it out wide. Their are calculators online if you search to see the difference but a +40 is close enough that I wouldn’t imagine their would be much if any issues.

i’m going negative offset and probably going to have to use a lug adapter but it’s gonna look mean

You should let us know how much Negative offset you end up with and how it looks / rides, and if their is any rubbing. right now the best I could come up with, for the wheel combo I wanted, was going to push everything out about an inch. I am not sure if that will work out.
