The best 17-inch 8×6.5 dually wheel depends on your truck’s year, make, model, wheel width, offset, and rear-wheel configuration. For a Dodge Ram 3500, the listed 17×6 replacement is specified for 2003–2018 models; GMC Sierra owners can compare the 17×6.5 steel replacement. The RockTrix wheels are wider 17×8.5 options, but their listed details do not confirm dually fitment. Verify the full fitment and load requirements before buying.

RockTrix RT114 Machined Silver
The RT114 is a 17×8.5 wheel with a 0mm offset and machined silver finish. It is best for buyers who want this wider size and appearance, provided the wheel is confirmed for their truck and dually setup. It was selected as a direct size-and-pattern search match, not as a verified dual-rear replacement.
Limitation: The supplied product information does not identify a vehicle application or confirm dual-wheel clearance. Avoid assuming it fits a dually based only on the 8×6.5 bolt pattern.
RockTrix RT111 Matte Black
The RT111 shares the RT114’s stated 17×8.5 size and 0mm offset, with a matte black finish. It is best for a buyer prioritizing that finish and comparing wider wheels with an 8×6.5 pattern. It was selected as another relevant pattern match for shoppers considering non-OE-style options.
Limitation: No specific truck fitment or dually clearance is included in the supplied details. Confirm those measurements before choosing this wheel for a dual-rear application.
Dodge Ram 3500 17×6 Replacement Wheel
This painted black steel wheel is listed for Dodge 3500 Pickup models from 2003–2018 with dual rear wheels, including chassis cab applications. It measures 17×6 and lists LT235/80R17 as the OEM tire size. It is best for Dodge owners seeking a model-specific replacement and was selected because the stated application explicitly identifies DRW fitment.
Limitation: The listed years and tire size should be checked against the exact vehicle configuration before ordering.
American Racing AR204 Baja Dually
The AR204 Baja is a polished 17×6 wheel with an 8×165.1 bolt pattern, equivalent to the commonly written 8×6.5 measurement. Its listed -134mm offset makes offset verification especially important. It is best for buyers comparing a named dually-style wheel rather than a generic OE replacement; the size and stated dually style support its inclusion.
Limitation: The supplied features do not specify a vehicle year or model. Check application, offset, and inner/outer rear clearance before purchase.
GMC Sierra 3500 17×6.5 Steel Wheel
This silver stamped-steel wheel is listed as a direct bolt-on replacement for 2008–2010 GMC Sierra 3500 dually models. It measures 17×6.5, uses an 8x165mm bolt pattern, and specifies LT225/75R17 as the OEM tire size. It is best for owners of the stated GMC application seeking an OE-style replacement.
Limitation: Its listed vehicle range is narrow; do not assume fitment for other Sierra years or configurations.
Buying Guide
Does 8×6.5 alone confirm dually fitment?
No. The bolt pattern is only one fitment measurement. Confirm the truck’s year and configuration, wheel width, offset, center fit, load requirements, and clearance between rear wheels. A wheel advertised with the correct pattern may still be unsuitable for a specific dually.
Should I choose a 17×6, 17×6.5, or 17×8.5 wheel?
Match the wheel width to the vehicle’s approved specifications and tire requirements. The listed Dodge and GMC replacements are narrower than the RockTrix 17×8.5 options. Do not substitute a wider wheel without confirming tire fitment and dual-rear spacing.
What should I verify before ordering?
- Confirm the exact vehicle year, make, model, and DRW configuration.
- Compare the bolt pattern, wheel diameter, width, and offset with the required specifications.
- Check the specified tire size and the wheel’s load capacity with the seller or vehicle documentation.
- For rear duals, verify inner and outer wheel clearance and mounting arrangement.
