ICON Alloys Compression 17x8.5 6x135 +6mm Double Black Wheel
Couldn't load pickup availability
The ICON Alloys Compression is a 17×8.5 aluminum alloy wheel in a Double Black finish, built with a concave spoke design and application-specific dimensions engineered to maximize caliper clearance, optimize wheel position for full suspension travel, and reduce scrub radius. It is available in a 6×135 bolt pattern with a 6mm offset and 5-inch backspace.
Shipping: ICON parts ship direct from ICON Vehicle Dynamics, mostly by UPS Ground. Lead times vary by part and some items are built to order, so please allow extra time. We email tracking as soon as your order ships.
Engineered Dimensions, Not Just Styled
The Compression's backspace and offset figures are developed specifically to reduce scrub radius, the geometry variable that most directly affects steering feel and straight-line stability. A tighter scrub radius means less kickback through the steering wheel on rough terrain and more predictable handling on pavement. These are not cosmetic choices; they follow from the same suspension-system engineering ICON applies to its shock and coilover development.
Caliper and Suspension Clearance Built In
The concave spoke profile and ICON-optimized dimensions are sized to clear large brake calipers without spacers and to allow unobstructed suspension travel and steering lock. Buyers running an ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension system will find the Compression's geometry designed to work alongside those components rather than fight them.
Aluminum Alloy Construction
The Compression is cast from aluminum alloy, which reduces unsprung and rotating mass compared to heavier wheel materials. Lower unsprung weight allows the suspension to respond faster to surface changes, improving traction and ride quality both on-road and off.

Who This Is For and Isn't
The Compression suits buyers who want a wheel engineered for suspension clearance and steering geometry rather than a generic fitment, particularly those running or planning an ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension system. The 6×135 bolt pattern and 6mm offset are specific to vehicles that accept this combination.
The Compression in this configuration does not fit vehicles requiring a different bolt pattern, offset, or backspace. Professional mounting and balancing of an appropriately sized tire is recommended before installation.

Common Questions
What bolt pattern does this wheel use?
The ICON Alloys Compression in this listing uses a 6×135 bolt pattern. Buyers should confirm their vehicle's bolt pattern, offset requirement, and hub bore before ordering, as wheel fitment is specific to these figures.
What is the offset and backspace?
This Compression wheel has a +6mm offset and a 5-inch backspace. These dimensions were developed to reduce scrub radius and optimize wheel position for suspension travel and steering function.
Is professional installation required?
ICON recommends professional mounting and balancing of an appropriately sized tire before the Compression wheel is installed on the vehicle. This applies to all wheel and tire combinations in this line.
