Frequently Asked Questions

The MTT226100476 uses an 8x6.5 (8x165.1mm) bolt pattern, which is common on older Chevy Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Chevy Silverado 2500 HD, GMC Sierra 2500 HD, Chevy Silverado 3500 HD, GMC Sierra 3500 HD, Ram 2500, and Ram 3500 models. Always verify bolt pattern, hub bore, and clearance for your specific year, make, model, and trim before purchasing.

All Mickey Thompson Classic Series wheels require 60-degree bulge acorn (cone bulge) seat lug nuts. Standard conical or open-end lug nuts are not compatible. Mickey Thompson recommends duplex bulge acorn lug nuts on vehicles with a GVWR of 6,500 lbs or greater.

No. Mickey Thompson specifically notes that Classic Series wheels in the 8-lug configuration are not suitable for 2022 and newer Toyota Tundra models due to insufficient fastener thread engagement. Do not use this wheel on a 2022 or newer Tundra.

The MTT226100476 has 4.25 inches of backspace. For a 12-inch wide wheel with 4.25-inch backspace, the offset works out to approximately -38.1mm (negative offset). This aggressive offset is designed to push the wheel outward for a wide, aggressive stance.

The MTT226100476 has a 106.1mm hub bore. If your vehicle's hub bore is smaller than 106.1mm, a hub-centric ring is required to center the wheel properly and eliminate vibration. Check your vehicle's factory hub bore diameter and use an appropriately sized hub-centric ring if necessary.

The Classic III 17x12 is not designed for dually rear axle applications. It is intended for single-rear-wheel (SRW) trucks and SUVs. Always confirm your vehicle is SRW and that the wheel clears brake calipers, fenders, and suspension components before installing.

Whether a spacer is needed depends entirely on your vehicle's suspension geometry and fender clearance. The aggressive 4.25-inch backspace on the MTT226100476 is designed to maximize poke, but certain lifted or stock-height trucks may still require a spacer or may need a different backspace. Test-fit before final installation.

The MTT226100476 carries a 3-year finish warranty from Mickey Thompson against defects in the polished finish under normal use and proper maintenance conditions.

The MTT226100476 has a load rating of approximately 3,250 lbs per wheel, suitable for full-size half-ton and three-quarter-ton truck applications. For heavy-duty or three-quarter-ton applications near maximum GVWR, confirm the total wheel load rating meets your vehicle's requirements.

Installation Notes

1. Confirm the 8x6.5 bolt pattern and 106.1mm hub bore match your vehicle before mounting.
2. Use only 60-degree bulge acorn (cone bulge) seat lug nuts; do not use standard conical lug nuts.
3. If your vehicle hub bore differs from 106.1mm, install hub-centric rings of the correct diameter.
4. Mount the wheel and hand-thread all lug nuts before applying torque.
5. Torque lug nuts to your vehicle manufacturer's specification in a cross-pattern sequence.
6. Re-torque lug nuts after 50-100 miles of initial driving.
7. Verify adequate clearance between the wheel, brake caliper, and fender at full suspension travel before driving.
