Overview
The Pro Comp 97 Series Rock Crawler in 15×8 inches is a flat black steel wheel, part number PCW97-5885F, drilled for a 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern. It sits in Pro Comp Steel Wheels’ Rock Crawler Series 97, a steel line for trucks and SUVs that need a durable rim for off-road use.
A -44 offset puts the mounting face well behind the centerline, so the wheel stands far out from the hub compared with a wheel that has a positive or zero offset. The 3.75 backspacing measures the room between the mounting face and the back edge of the rim, and the 108 center bore centers the wheel on the hub.
Key features
- Steel construction with a flat black powder coat
- 15 inch diameter and 8 inch width
- 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern
- 108 center bore
- -44 offset and 3.75 backspacing
- Holes-style face from the Rock Crawler line
Checking the wheel before a trip
Before a longer trip, check the wheel and tire assembly as a unit. Look for cracks in the weld seams, bulges in the tire sidewall, and bent flanges that could allow the tire to lose its seal. A small problem at home is easier to fix than a broken wheel on a remote trail.
Steel wheels can also flex under heavy impacts. If the wheel takes a hard hit from a rock, inspect it for a bend before driving on it further. Carry a basic tire repair kit and a compressor, and know how to reseat a tire on the bead.
- Inspect welds and flanges before every trip.
- Check tire sidewalls for bulges.
- Carry a tire repair kit and compressor.

Vehicle fitment
This wheel has no vehicle name, year or chassis code attached to it. Its -44 offset is large enough that the fender, steering and brake caliper must be checked before use. Match the 5 on 5.5 bolt pattern and 108 center bore to the hub, then compare the offset with the clearance your vehicle allows.
Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Test fit the wheel with the planned tire at full lock and under suspension compression before any trail use. Because the wheel is steel, inspect the welds and bolt holes for cracks after a hard off-road outing.
