Love this build. If it's already been answered, I apologize but what are the seats out of and was there any fab needed?

It’s always been from where the outside side of tire bead to outside of tire bead seats on the rim.
Not sure why the makers of bead lock wheels are rewriting the book.
In any case those are nice wheels.

It seems to me that where the tire bead is going to seat is the important information.
These Battle born wheels that I was running were stamped 17-9 but you can see there almost 10" wide to where the tire would seat.

You can also see that there a inner bead where the tire could be mounted at closer to 9" and not run the bead lock ring. you can see the same thing in the picture of the wheel that @bush posted.
I was told by a good friend that works for a Major auto parts retailer that this done so that the bead lock wheel can be sold with out it being stamped
FOR OFF ROAD USE ONLY
IMO if the wheel specs are going to be different for bead locks then the Manufacturer/retailers need to be more transparent about it.
The Battle Born wheels were advertised, invoiced and stamped and 17-9" bead lock wheels

I ended up selling these wheels at a loss as the 10" wide wheel were just to wide for my application.
I replaced them with Walker Evans Racing wheels 17-8.5" wheels that are true to there advertised size and have no inner bead. There also sold as OFF ROAD ONLY wheels.
Great Saturday morning read. If you have more time than money, I’d try to remove the rattle can camo with Easy Off Oven Cleaner or aerosolized graffiti remover…truck has some good looking patina…might find the OEM paint under there to look just right.
I can see the 9 5/8".Outside to bead to outside of bead is the width right? Well with a beadlock, the bead is moved to a flange on the outside of the wheel hoop, so the measurement is then larger.
They're not rewriting "the book", it's just a difference in wheel specs that buyers need to be aware of.

Pushed the handheld radios in favor of this little Midland MXT115 base station. Went this route after hearing @POTATO LAUNCHER come through clear as a bell from literal miles away. Needless to say he couldn't hear our response.

Gotta track down a head unit with Bluetooth and fill that hole. Dang little JBL deal is a trooper in the meantime.
