ICON Alloys Recon SLX 18x9 5x5.5 0mm Charcoal Wheel

The ICON Alloys Recon SLX is an 18x9 aluminum alloy wheel in Charcoal finish, built for truck and SUV owners who want functional engineering alongside concave 16-spoke styling. This specific configuration runs a 5x5.5 bolt pattern, 0mm offset, and 5-inch backspace, with a 3,200 lb load rating suited to off-road use. The Recon SLX is also available in Satin Black.

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 Styling

The Recon SLX's 0mm offset and 5-inch backspace are developed specifically to reduce scrub radius (the geometric relationship between the steering axis and the tire contact patch). A tighter scrub radius means less kickback through the steering wheel on rough terrain and more predictable handling during cornering. These are not arbitrary numbers carried over from a generic fitment; they are application-specific figures chosen to keep steering feel consistent when the wheel is paired with a lifted suspension setup.

Caliper Clearance and Suspension Travel

The Recon SLX is engineered to maximize caliper clearance and keep the wheel positioned so suspension travel and steering function remain unobstructed. For a vehicle running larger brakes or an aftermarket suspension system, inadequate caliper clearance is a real installation problem. The Recon SLX's spoke geometry and inner barrel profile are designed to avoid it. The wheel pairs directly with ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension systems, where the offset and backspace figures were developed in tandem.

Aluminum Construction and Load Rating

The Recon SLX is cast from aluminum alloy and carries a 3,200 lb load rating, providing the strength margin needed for off-road driving where impacts and lateral loads exceed what pavement use demands. Aluminum alloy construction reduces unsprung weight and rotating mass, contributing to improved on- and off-road performance by allowing the suspension to respond more quickly to terrain changes.

Features

• 16-spoke concave design: sharp spoke lines with a smooth, boltless lip and embossed ICON Alloys center cap
• Application-specific offset and backspace: 0mm offset and 5-inch backspace developed to reduce scrub radius
• Caliper clearance optimization: spoke geometry engineered to clear larger brake assemblies
• Aluminum alloy construction: 3,200 lb load rating with reduced unsprung weight

Who This Is For and Isn't

The Recon SLX in this configuration suits truck and SUV builds running a 5x5.5 bolt pattern where a 0mm offset and 5-inch backspace are appropriate for the suspension geometry, particularly builds paired with ICON Vehicle Dynamics suspension systems where these dimensions were developed together.

This listing is for one wheel in Charcoal finish only; Satin Black is a separate listing. Professional mounting and balancing of an appropriately sized tire before installation onto the vehicle is recommended. The Recon SLX is not sold with tires or a center cap beyond the embossed ICON Alloys cap shown.

Common Questions

What is the load rating on the Recon SLX 18x9?

The ICON Alloys Recon SLX 18x9 carries a 3,200 lb load rating per wheel. This rating reflects the aluminum alloy construction and is suited to off-road use where impact and lateral loads are higher than typical on-road driving.

Does this wheel require professional installation?

Professional mounting and balancing of an appropriately sized tire is recommended before the Recon SLX is installed onto the vehicle. The wheel itself bolts to any vehicle running a 5x5.5 bolt pattern where a 0mm offset and 5-inch backspace are compatible with the suspension and brake setup.

Is this listing for a set of four wheels?

This listing is for one ICON Alloys Recon SLX wheel in Charcoal, 18x9, 5x5.5 bolt pattern, 0mm offset, 5-inch backspace. Add the quantity needed for a full set at checkout.

What vehicles does the 5x5.5 bolt pattern fit?

The 5x5.5 bolt pattern is common on a range of trucks and SUVs; however, bolt pattern alone does not confirm fitment. Offset, backspace, hub bore, and brake caliper clearance must also be verified for the specific vehicle and suspension configuration before purchase.
