Hello. I've ordered the 17" alloy, but want to get dedicated wheels/tires for our winter here in Colorado. My question is any options you find for these? I saw the website earlier in thread for Australia, but do have the lug pattern listed as 6x139mm. I am told by my dealer (who is just getting ramped up) that the wheels are the 'GM 2022-2024 6x130mm'. However, hunting on TireRack's site I don't find GM models with this pattern. Nor when I called TireRack were they any help. Net, does anyone have better information on wheel specs to help me track down a winter set-up, before it arrives in a few months? Appreciate it friends.

6x130, offset of original steelies is 55.

Covered in various threads on the forum (search wheels), like this one:

Easiest match are Mercedes Sprinter wheels but choice is limited.

Hi coloradosnow, Try to stay as reasonable close to the offset on any new rim to match the original offset, (sometimes called ET) of the factory rims. If your offset is too much one way of the other, than it could cause clearance issues with the suspension and or brakes. Additionally, manufactures typically have an offset that is inline with the wheel bearing. If you get an offset to much different than the factory offset on factory rims, than you run the risk of shortening the life of the wheel bearings from the rim not being perfectly centered over the wheel bearing. Always best to check with a reputable after market wheel provider and do some research before taking the plunge. Using wheel spacers to help get the offset correct is generally not advisable, especially for a vehicle going over landing. DaBull

I have a set of these on order, don't know which will come first the car or the wheels :ROFLMAO: View attachment 7809181
Would love to know the specs on these, if you can share. 17"x8"? 6x130mm lug pattern? the offset, backspace, and center bore. Again, if you have the data. Am looking to put a set-up just for winter (separate wheels and snow tires) for use here in Colorado. My vehicle won't arrive until early 2024, right in our winter. And would love to buy the winter set-up in advance and have ready. That arrangement works great on my GX. thanks and nice looking vehicle!

Hi coloradosnow, I think this info is somewhere in the forum and perhaps I have also saved a thread on this. I will check my notes and see if I can find the info and get back with you later.

One thing I have found helpful is to create a word document and then create along the side of the page, A, B C etc.
I then will create a heading, for instance, under A I would list in large letters AIR CONDITIONING.
Then under that heading I cut and paste a hyperlink I find worth keeping from a forum members particular post and paste it under AIR CONDITIONING with a small note above it about what the link is about or to. That way I have any and all info I want to collect on one document. It is easy to keep organized and find anything of interest I have saved including links to products, links to photos, links to videos and most importantly, links to forum members posts about a particular subject. Only issue I have found in doing this in my word document has grown to many pages....DaBull

Standard steel wheels are 17x7.5, 6x130 with 55 offset.

If you are hunting for wheels in online comparators enter Mercedes Sprinter, as long as they are 17” or bigger and are 6x130 PCD then they should work. A good place to start is looking at Sprinter van conversion specialists such as Vanspeed, they show some good examples:

In the States you have heaps of choices, brands like Method, Rhino, Nomad and others all do rims that will work. Other brands such as Braid, Borbet, Evo Corse have nice options.

When all else fails put “6x130 PCD” in your Google machine and as long as they are 17” or bigger and have a positive offset somewhere from 20 to 55 you should be OK. In the States you get away with tyres poking well outside the limits of the wheel arch, so you can fit almost any offset as long as it does not rub. In the rest of the free world we tend to have legal restrictions on this so need to stick closer to the positive 55 offset.

Saw this Tacoma at a Rays game last year and it flipped my lid, can't believe you guys can have wheels like these:

Check for Merc Sprinter rims, as from what has been posted here they are the same

Method Race wheels... quite a few choices. (6 x 130 stud pattern - all are offset P50) - the bead grips are interested in the 7 series

Australian site details:
https://www.methodracewheels.com.au...?filter.v.m.custom.variant_stud_pattern=6x130
Ignition in Brisbane is offering them (as is Expedition HQ on the gold coast)

I have a set of black 701s on order through Ignition that should be here soon.

703 fairly similar seen with the Grenadier standard BFGoodrich KO2 265/70R17 attached
