We test fit a couple of wheels yesterday. One wheel that bolted up without any issues was the MB72 17x8.5 +12mm offset.

For those interested in running these wheels here is a link to the mail order price and availability. If you have a Discount Tire or America's Tire location near you contact them for a local price and availability.

Below are some pictures of the test fit.

Link: 17x8.5 6-114.3 +12

I was curious and it didn't come up under the 16" but did under the 17" for 120 a wheel but it did mention: "Mirror machined and gloss black machined finishes, one-piece aluminum construction, 14", 15", 16", 17", 18" and 20" sizes."

Man, what a PITA to find wheels I like where I don't have to pay a quarter f*ck ton to buy them just so I can scratch them up. It's always something, not in your size, not in your bolt pattern, don't come in black. Well, at least I know the good people at Discount Tire are making every attempt possible to help.

will these wheels accept our stock Tire Pressure Monitors?

What is our stock offset I am looking for a well priced wheel that will make my tires stick out about an inch past the fenders.

:laugh: I laughed pretty hard after reading this. I mean spelling it. I know how you feel trust me. Wheels for my Titan are easy. Wheels for my frontier... not so much. (But getting better I should add).

Yes, these are TPMS friendly.

2005 and newer stock wheels have a 30mm offset. If you want the wheels to stick out about 1" here's the widths and offset you will want to aim for.
**Note that these offset should make the wheel stick out about 1" not counting the tire. Generally speaking, if you choose a higher offset than recommended below it will tuck the wheels in further, if you choose a lower offset it will make them stick out further.

Wheel width - - - -Offset
6.5 - - - - - - - ( -30mm )
7.0 - - - - - - - ( -24mm )
7.5 - - - - - - - (-18mm)
8.0 - - - - - - - (-0mm)
8.5 - - - - - - - (-0mm)
9.0 - - - - - - - (+6mm)
9.5 - - - - - - - (+12mm)
10 - - - - - - - (+18mm)

Is there any update on the ones in your avatar? The matte black buckshots right?

Unfortunately there is no word. At this point I don't think they will be coming anytime soon. If you're in the market for new wheels now you may want to consider some other options.

The MB72, 16x8 1/2 will fit our trucks. A guy on thenewx.org got some a few years ago. I think MB stopped making the 72's a few years ago, in that size... Freakin' sucks too, that's the style I really wanted, instead I bought some used Predators from mr_plow and repainted them...

The MB 72 is still available in the silver machined finish in size 16x8.5 +12. Also in this size, the MB72 is being produced in the all matte black finish.
