Calling all 5th gen guys with Level8 wheels

[bartvonwolf]

Hey all, I am looking at the 17" Level8 MK6 Matte Black wheels for my 2016 Trail. There are two options, the -10 offset and the 0 offset. I am wondering if you guys with these wheels can post a pic or two of your rigs with these wheels and specify what offset you have so I can make a more educated decision.

Thanks!

Bart

17X8 ET0 with 285/70/17. If you search there is a whole thread on these wheels with pictures on various fitments.

Offset -12
BS 4.5

Thanks for the info, guys! Your rigs look great. I will be lifting mine and throwing 285/70R17s on. And based on what I found in the Level 8 MK6 thread I think -10 is what I will go for. The 0 offset still looks good but I think the negative offset will be closer to stock.

What did you guys do about the TPMS if anything?

Thanks again!

I have the 0 offset. I do not recommend these wheels if you plan on traveling gravel roads. The spokes are set out far enough that my rear wheels are completely pitted from 1 (one) 56 mile dirt trail. I just had the TPMS rebuilt and move over from the TRD Pro wheels.

Interesting. When you say pitted, just chipped up and ugly looking or worse?

Thanks - Bart

I got these wheels as well and really like them. I wasn't a huge fan of the saucer center caps though so I changed them out.

-12, cant say im not cheating with 1.25 spacers as well though. Reccomend both for the aggresive stance. Rubbing is a pain though, and is a reality with any kind of wider stance (rim offset included)

kind of like the rock chips you get in the hood. It took little chunks out of the paint. I will try to remember to get pics tomorrow.

Nice! How much? Yeah looks way better than stock!

Apologies for a quick thread hijack, OP. [MENTION=96061]decker1[/MENTION], what is the "green LED bulb door mod" listed in your signature line? I read your build thread but didn't see it mentioned in there. Can you post some pics?

I don't have any pics but I'm running the MK6 17x9 with -12 OS (4.5" BS) with 265/70/17 Terra Grapplers and stock height and they sit flush with the fender flares... well, maybe inset 1/4" but not much more. I have zero rubbing whatsoever but I do know at least one guy has the same wheels with KO2s in 265/70/17 and he rubs a bit. I'm going 285s once I lift it and I don't expect to have any issues.

I had discount tire get them for me. If I recall, they were around $12-15 a pop and it took about a week.

Here are the pics. The damage is on the forward rotating side of the spokes. As you can see the rear side didn't get pelted with gravel.

This is a late reply as I just saw this for some reason. Sorry about that cowtown. The mod is simply replacing the bulbs in the door lights to a green bulb, size 194.
These are what I used

Anyone else out there all pitted up like Tiggers? I am about to purchase the the matte black ones, but this has me a bit concerned. Obviously the black could look even worse than the grey if this pitting happens. Bah! Why did I have to see this.....

If you get a deeper offset and don't run gravel roads at 50mph with 18PSI you should be fine.
