Default Looking at AR rebels 17inch.

After a few months I still think I wanna go with these, Who has these in the 17inch version not 18. I want to know if im going to have fitment issues or not.

Mine had 17" Rebels on it when I bought it. No fitment issues here, but it has 245-45's on it. Anyone running 275-40's?

Where did you buy them from? I'm looking to get a set. I can't find them on ebay.

Also, you'll probably have to call and talk to them about pricing though because I don't think they have them on their website.

Thanks tylerdj. Approximately when did you buy them from TomZ? From what I understand, the newer made Rebel has a slightly different appearance than older ones. In your case you have the "stepped lip" (which is what I want too) but there is also a slightly differing look which has a flat lip.

I bought them a few weeks ago. According to many wheel dealers that I spoke with, American Racing was going to stop producing the rebels. I think the 'flat lip' ones (which were the ones I wanted) were the older style.

They're 17x9's all the way around. Thats the only size they make in the 17's.

Isn't 17x9 what ws6 wheels are? And can't you fit 285s on them?

Know any place that sells the 17inch rebels at a good price? Not the new style though the old ones that everyone likes.

I had nothing but problems with mine. The fronts rubbed and the rears hit the fender when I would go up steep driveways.

I was running a 275/40 Nitto.
