Couldn't load pickup availability
The ICON Alloys Alpha is a 17×8.5 aluminum alloy wheel in a Titanium finish, built for Jeeps, trucks, and SUVs where on-road appearance and off-road capability both matter. Running a 5×5 bolt pattern with 0mm offset and 4.75" backspace, the Alpha's dimensions are engineered to optimize caliper clearance, wheel position, and suspension travel rather than simply fitting a common size.

Engineered Dimensions, Not Just a Fitment
The Alpha's 0mm offset and 4.75" backspace are developed specifically to reduce scrub radius, the distance between the steering axis and the tire's contact patch. A lower scrub radius means the steering geometry works with the suspension rather than against it, which translates to more predictable handling on pavement and more composed behavior on uneven terrain. Buyers pairing these wheels with an ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension system get dimensions that are already tuned to work together.
Caliper Clearance and Suspension Travel
Wheel position is optimized to give brake calipers room to breathe and to allow full, unhindered suspension travel and steering articulation. On a lifted Jeep or truck, a wheel that crowds the caliper or binds at full droop limits the suspension's ability to do its job. The Alpha's application-specific geometry keeps those clearances intact across the suspension's range of motion.
Aluminum Alloy Construction
The Alpha is cast from aluminum alloy, which reduces unsprung weight and rotating mass compared to heavier wheel materials. Less unsprung weight means the suspension can respond more quickly to terrain changes, improving both ride quality and traction. The alloy construction also provides the strength properties suited to off-road use without adding unnecessary mass.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Alpha suits Jeep, truck, and SUV owners running a 5×5 bolt pattern who want a wheel engineered for both street and off-road use, particularly those pairing wheels with an ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension system where the offset and backspace are already tuned to work together.
This listing is for a single wheel; a full set requires purchasing the appropriate quantity. Professional mounting and balancing of an appropriately sized tire is recommended before installation. The 5×5 bolt pattern does not fit vehicles with other bolt patterns.
Common Questions
What bolt pattern does the ICON Alloys Alpha fit?
The ICON Alloys Alpha in this listing uses a 5×5 bolt pattern (5×127mm), which is common on Jeep Wrangler and Gladiator models as well as certain trucks and SUVs. Verify your vehicle's bolt pattern before ordering, as this wheel will not fit vehicles with a different bolt pattern.
Is professional installation required?
ICON Alloys recommends professional mounting and balancing of an appropriately sized tire before the Alpha wheel is installed on the vehicle. This ensures the tire seats correctly and the assembly is balanced for safe on- and off-road use.
How does the 0mm offset affect fitment and handling?
The Alpha's 0mm offset and 4.75" backspace are engineered to reduce scrub radius, the geometric relationship between the steering axis and the tire contact patch. A reduced scrub radius improves steering feel and handling predictability both on pavement and off-road, and keeps the wheel position compatible with full suspension travel and brake caliper clearance.
Does this wheel pair with ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension systems?
The Alpha's offset and backspace dimensions are specifically developed to complement ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension systems, ensuring the wheel position and scrub radius work with ICON's suspension geometry rather than requiring additional spacers or offset correction.
