8 on 6.5 Steel Wheel for 17.5 tires for 1/2 inch Lugs ?

[jimmyfred]

.........The Sailun 17.5 tires are available at ~$200 apiece ! But , I can't find a conventional steel wheel with 8 on 6.5 lug spacing , for 1/2 inch studs to fit my 7k axles ! Every website I have seen lists the heavy steel wheels that are made to fit either lug centric 9/16's or 5/8's studs-OR- the same steel wheel which is Hub Centric with the same two stud sizes .
..........Maybe the 8 on 6.5 wheels for 1/2 inch studs are Unavailable due to the 4805 lb. wheel rating , I'm not sure ! Anybody done any research on this issue ? , thanks , jf

I would be very leary of any change in offset as it could put more stress on the wheel bearings.

.........Well , looks like they have a 17.5 steel wheel to fit either 1/2 inch or 9/16 inch studs ! They are rated for 3500 lbs , not the 4805 or so the other wheels are rated for .
.........They say they have a 1/2 inch negative offset , so I'm not sure IF that means , the wheel is moved 1/2 inch to the inside of the centerline , OR 1/2 inch to the outside of the centerline of the wheel .
