Default 17x7 40mm 5x114.3 5x100 MB Drifter and 1/4 inch spacers

I have 2 MB drifter 17x7 MB Drifter 5 lug 100 and 114.3 (4.5) lug patterns. They have been sandblasted and painted with a light coat of blueish gray. So they can be repainted easily. Infact, I suggest you do, as they were poorly painted and oversprayed. $65 or make an offer for both or one of them.





Spacers sold.

I am in Hampton. I put them on my analog scale and it says about 19-20 lbs. This scale has always had my personal weight a few lbs heavier than I really am compared to digital scales that I have tried, so 18-20 lbs is a fair estimate. They are not light or heavy, about average. With some heavy falkens 205/40/17, the wheel was barely 40 lbs.

Up to what size tire will they fit? I'll probably run 245 max.

Depends on the profile of the tire. This is a 7 inch wide wheels, so you can run any 205, 215, and 225 with any profile for the 17 in tires. For 235 and 245, it is only recommended that 235/50/17s and 245/50/17s, as the lower profiles recommend 7.5 wide wheels. This is recommended and you can exceed it if the tire installer will do it for you.

you go to the car meets in front of Bass Pro? Yeah, I thought x7 would be too small. I need a x8.5 or x9. 50 profile is too tall.

Haven't been in a while, but I go on some occasions just to check it out. I remember reading somewhere that some guys got away with 234/40/17 on a 7 in wide rim. So 235/45/17 is def doable. These are definately front wheels and not rear wheels width.
