Topic: I like these wheels

[oHIobellboy]

I'm thinking of selling my Denali wheels to get a set of these. Summit Nomads.  A guy at work put these on an F-250 that he had and I thought they'd match the cladding perfect. Any thoughts?

[trAVelingman]

I like 'em!!   

[Al]

I agree

[tdybr27]

should look good on the AV, Mike.

 

[underwood]

I like them ... I do agree that that would go good with the cladding 

[Donnie1]

Those look sweet.

[Fowlhunter]

Oh, very nice!!!   

Does anyone know what the backspacing is on the factory wheels?  This is listed as 5.98" backspace.

Thanks, FH.

[Intimidatoruag]

those looks good .... 

[Skyview]

They should look good on yours. What about the custom centers twiggy did? She going to so some for these too?

[Ski Edition]

Those are sweet!!!   Would look great on your AV!!! 

[Fowlhunter]

Question, with the look of the bead lock how would the weights be attached when the tires are balanced? Stick on weights?

I'm sure she can come up with something. We just got done moving all her scrapbook stuff into the bedroom her oldest son vacated. She's a lot more organized now.

Hell,,,that's up to the tire guy to figure out.

I made them put the weights on the backside of the rim. I don't want those ugly weights to be seen.

Do you have a good pic of the Denali wheels and what size are they?  Thanks!  I've got the wheels spining on some new wheels/tires.  Thanks again!

Second pix is a close up that Skyview took. He said I could use it from his site. I have the GMC center caps that go with them also. I found these plain ones on eBay and my wife made the bowtie for the centers on her scrapbook machine.

I use equal balance in my rims and tires . Its a powder based weight that goes inside the tire and rim befor airing the tire . Works great and no weight marks anywhere on the rim. And no stick on weights flying off in the winter. Love the wheels OBB send pics when you get them.

Might be a while...just bought something else 

Actually, I had some overtime money saved up and was thinking about them until this other deal fell in my lap.

[bluedevil]

Wooz,..... get the wheels!

[mpstech]

Those are BA !

[oHIobellboy]

Ok. Time to revive this thread. Gimmee opinions about these with some 33" tires and a 3" body lift.

That bonus mod money startin to burn a hole eh? That Ultra Nomad was the wheel I was going to put on my nekked white one until I saw one of the 17x9 for the Avalanche in person. It didn't look the same as the picture. It didn't have hardly any depth to it on the outside. The Nomad that they use in almost all the pictures is the 15x10 which gives it a totally different look which was the look I wanted.  I did my homework on offset and back spacing and found the Black Rock 17x8 that I put on mine had a deeper lip and looked wider than the 17x9 Nomad. I also found out that most all Ultra wheels are made in China. Black Rocks in USA. If you look enough you can find a picture of how the different sizes of the Nomad look to each other. If you can fit the wider wheel I think it looks a bunch better than the 8" and 9" ones. The picture you posted is the 10" wide wheel.

I called Summit tonight. The 9" with the 6inch offset should work. I didn't look for a 10" wheel. I may go with the 5.5" offset to push more of the tire to the outside part of the rim. The way he explained it to me is the 5.5" will move the extra 1" of tire (from the stock 265 to a 295= 300mm/3cm/almost an inch) to the outside. The 6" spacing will split the difference of the tire. Maybe the 5.5" will have a little more "outside lip" to it.

Ski Edition has me hooked on the Nitto's he likes so well. Great reviews, and first hand knowledge from a member with experience goes a long way.
I do kind of like the Cooper Discoverer STT though. Just don't know anyone that has used them even though they also get great reviews.


btw, anyone looking for a set of Denali wheels? Stock z71 17's with damn near new Goodyear A/T's on them also.

Go to one of the big online tire and wheel sites and find the Nomad wheel and put the info in for Avalanche fitment. It should give you the specs for the correct wheel. If it lists a postive offfset add that to the amount of back spacing and subtract from wheel width to get some idea how deep the wheel  will look from the face. The 17x9  Nomad I saw was ordered for 2006 Avalanche and the guy refused them because they didn't look like what he was shown in the Ultra catalog. I had to agree with him they looked almost like a different wheel. They had a small lip and a very flat face to them. I'm on my semi smart phone and can't upload the pictures of the two wheels side by side but I'll try to do it tomorrow after I get up. (working graveyard) I wanted the wheel in your post but was told that look was only in the 15x10 and I was afraid of having fitment issues.

Take the pic from your post and do a google search for Ultra Nomad. I think the first pic that pops up is the 17x9 you can then compare the two side by side and you'll see what I'm talking about. If you can get one with the look as your post I think it would look great but I think the standard fit for the Ava doesn't look wide enough.

On Summit's site you can do the 360* view. It does look very flat in the front. I think I'll stop by there on the way to work this morning. The one in Ohio is only about 10 mins from work.

I don't want it where the wife needs a step stool to get in it. lol

nice but not for me on a cladded Avy.

[oHIobellboy]

Here's the one with the 6" backspacing

[oHIobellboy]

Here's the one with the 5.5" backspacing

Notice the difference in the lip and the slope of the spokes. I'm going with the 5.5.

Glad you like them Boomer. If you hadn't talked more about them I prolly would have gone with the 6" bs. Once I got to Summit and compared them side by side the difference is very obvious. They're in the back of the Avy now.   Now to get the shoes for them. Avy goes in on Monday and they're saying two weeks for completion. Should be a nice touch when it's done.

[BooomerX]

The one you picked has the center bore drilled for a Toyota but it is supposed to come with a 78mm to 106 mm centering ring adapter. Just make sure they are included. With +12mm offset and 5.5" backspacing that should give you around 3" of wheel depth appearance.

Damn. Gonna have to check on that when I get back to the garage after work. Thanks.

I hit the same thing when putting the Black Rocks on mine. One other thing to check is the lug nuts. Be sure the lugs for the new wheels are long enough to seat the wheel against the hub. The wheel studs are very long on the Ava and depending on the wheel mounting thickness the lug nut may bottom out before tightening the wheel leaving you with two options longer lug nuts or adding a 1/4" to 1/2" wheel spacer. My Black Rocks wouldn't tighten but they use a center cap covering the lugs so we milled the cap end off the lug nut and they seated then. I had maybe an 1/8" between the end of the stud and the center cap so I had to still mill the lug nuts so the center cap would fit.

My 17x8 Black Rocks Type D 909S


Those Nomads will look sweet with the cladding.

[oHIobellboy]

I'll test fit one of them this weekend while I'm tearing the truck apart in preparation for it's trip to the shop on Monday.

Oh, the only Black Rock wheel that fit my taste didn't come in a six lug pattern.
