ICON Alloys Alpha 17x8.5 6x135 +6mm Titanium Wheel

The ICON Alloys Alpha is a 17×8.5 aluminum alloy wheel in a Titanium finish, built in a 6×135 bolt pattern with a 6 mm offset and 5-inch backspace for vehicles running that bolt pattern. Application-specific dimensions are engineered to maximize caliper clearance, optimize wheel position for suspension travel and steering function, and reduce scrub radius for improved handling.

Engineered Dimensions, Not Generic Fitment

The Alpha's 6 mm offset and 5-inch backspace are developed specifically to reduce scrub radius, which is the geometry variable that most directly affects steering feel and tire wear. A shorter scrub radius means the wheel pivots closer to its contact patch, reducing the kickback a driver feels over rough terrain and the side-load stress on steering components over time.

Unsprung Weight and What It Means on the Trail

The Alpha is constructed from aluminum alloy to reduce unsprung weight and rotating mass compared to heavier wheel materials. Less unsprung weight allows the suspension to follow terrain more accurately: the wheel drops into a rut and returns to the ground faster, which translates to better traction and a more controlled ride both on pavement and off.

Caliper and Suspension Clearance

The Alpha is engineered to maximize caliper clearance so that larger brake hardware does not limit wheel selection. Wheel position is also optimized to allow unhindered suspension travel and steering articulation, making the Alpha a functional complement to a lifted or performance-tuned suspension setup.

Features

• Application-specific offset and backspace: 6 mm offset and 5-inch backspace developed to reduce scrub radius and improve handling geometry
• Maximized caliper clearance: engineered to clear larger brake hardware without spacers
• Aluminum alloy construction: reduces unsprung weight and rotating mass for improved on- and off-road performance
• Optimized wheel position: supports full suspension travel and steering articulation

Specifications

California Proposition 65 Warning: This product contains chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth anomalies, or other reproductive harm.

Professional mounting and balancing of an appropriately sized tire prior to installation onto the vehicle is recommended.

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Alpha suits truck, Jeep, and SUV owners running a 6×135 bolt pattern who want a wheel with geometry engineered for caliper clearance, suspension travel, and reduced scrub radius, particularly those pairing wheels with a performance suspension system.

This wheel is not compatible with vehicles using any bolt pattern other than 6×135. No load rating figure is stated for this listing; buyers with specific load requirements should confirm suitability before purchasing.

Common Questions

What vehicles use a 6×135 bolt pattern?

The 6×135 bolt pattern fits a range of trucks, Jeeps, and SUVs. The Alpha is designed for vehicles in those categories running this pattern. Buyers should verify their specific make, model, and year against their vehicle's bolt pattern before ordering.

What does the 6 mm offset mean for wheel fitment?

Offset is the distance from the wheel's mounting face to its centerline. The Alpha's 6 mm positive offset places the mounting face slightly outboard of center. This dimension is developed specifically to reduce scrub radius and optimize wheel position for suspension travel and steering function on this application.

Is professional installation required?

Professional mounting and balancing of an appropriately sized tire before installing the Alpha wheel onto the vehicle is recommended. This is standard practice for any aftermarket wheel and ensures the tire is seated and balanced correctly for safe operation.
