One-Piece Cast Aluminum Construction

The Konig Tandem utilizes one-piece cast aluminum construction, providing a durable and practical wheel design for compatible street applications.

Unlike multi-piece wheels, which incorporate separate wheel components, the Tandem is manufactured as a single aluminum alloy wheel.

This construction offers several advantages:

• Durable aluminum alloy design.

• Straightforward maintenance.

• Consistent one-piece construction.

• Suitable for daily-driven vehicles.

• Distinctive aftermarket styling.

• Practical replacement for compatible factory wheels.

The Tandem is part of Konig's cast wheel collection and should not be confused with the company's Flow Formed or Fully Forged performance wheel series.

Distinctive Six-Spoke Design

The Tandem features a unique six-spoke layout that combines modern styling with traditional motorsport-inspired design elements.

Its layered spoke appearance creates visual depth, while the open spaces between the spokes provide a clean view of the vehicle's brake components.

The design delivers a bold appearance without the complexity of traditional mesh-style wheels.

Gloss Graphite Finish

The TM87514456 features Konig's premium Gloss Graphite finish.

This dark gray finish provides a sophisticated alternative to conventional gloss black, silver, or bronze wheels.

The glossy surface highlights the wheel's six-spoke styling and adds depth to its layered design.

The Graphite finish complements a wide variety of exterior colors, making the Tandem a versatile choice for custom street builds.

Concave-Inspired Wheel Profile

The Tandem incorporates a concave-inspired spoke arrangement designed to give the wheel a more aggressive appearance.

The spoke profile creates depth between the outer wheel edge and center hub, emphasizing the wheel's performance-oriented styling.

The degree of concavity varies depending on wheel diameter, width, and offset.

Back-Cut Spoke Detailing

The Tandem incorporates back-cut design elements that enhance its distinctive appearance.

These details add dimension to the spokes and contribute to the wheel's modern, layered styling.

The result is a wheel that offers a unique visual character compared with conventional six-spoke designs.

17x8 +45 Wheel Fitment

The 17x8-inch configuration provides a versatile platform for appropriately sized street and performance tires.

The +45mm offset determines the wheel's mounting position relative to its centerline and affects both inner suspension clearance and outer fender clearance.

Compared with wider, lower-offset configurations, this wheel may provide a more conservative fitment on certain vehicles.

However, compatibility depends on the original wheel specifications and the complete wheel and tire combination.

Potential installation considerations include:

• Factory or aftermarket suspension clearance.

• Brake caliper clearance.

• Tire width and sidewall selection.

• Fender clearance.

• Steering clearance.

• Alignment and camber settings.

• Hub-centric ring requirements.

Proper fitment should always be confirmed before installation.

73.1mm Center Bore

The Tandem TM87514456 features a 73.1mm center bore.

Vehicles with smaller hub diameters may require appropriately sized hub-centric rings to help center the wheel during installation.

Hub-centric rings do not correct an incompatible bolt pattern, incorrect lug hardware, or insufficient brake clearance.

60-Degree Conical Lug Seat

The Konig Tandem uses a 60-degree conical lug seat.

Properly matched lug nuts or bolts are essential for safe wheel installation.

Some vehicles equipped with factory ball-seat or other lug hardware may require aftermarket conical-seat hardware.

Always verify thread size, seat profile, lug engagement, and torque specifications before installation.

Tire Pressure Monitoring System Compatibility

The Tandem supports compatible tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) sensors.

Vehicles originally equipped with TPMS may require transferring compatible sensors from the factory wheels or installing replacement sensors.

Sensor compatibility and programming requirements vary by vehicle.

Wheel Load Rating

The TM87514456 features a 1,521 lb load rating per wheel.

This rating represents the maximum specified load capacity for the individual wheel.

Before installation, verify that the wheel's load rating meets or exceeds the vehicle's applicable load requirements.

Brake Clearance Considerations

The Tandem features an open six-spoke design that may accommodate various factory brake systems.

However, compatibility with larger brake calipers or aftermarket big brake kits depends on the specific brake system, rotor dimensions, wheel offset, and spoke clearance.

Always verify brake clearance using an appropriate manufacturer-approved brake template before purchasing.

Common Reasons for Replacement

• Factory Wheel Upgrade: Replaces original wheels with a distinctive aftermarket design.

• Appearance Enhancement: Adds modern six-spoke styling with a premium Gloss Graphite finish.

• Wheel Size Upgrade: Provides a 17-inch configuration for compatible vehicles.

• Damaged Wheel Replacement: Replaces an existing matching Konig Tandem wheel.

• Custom Street Builds: Complements performance-oriented exterior styling.

• Suspension Upgrades: Pairs with properly configured coilover and suspension setups.

• Performance Tire Upgrade: Supports appropriately sized street and performance tires.

• Matching Wheel Replacement: Allows replacement of an individual damaged wheel without purchasing an entire set.

• Custom Wheel Configurations: Suitable for square or staggered setups when correctly selected.

• Daily Driver Customization: Provides an aggressive appearance with practical one-piece aluminum construction.

Installation Notes

1. Verify Bolt Pattern: Confirm that the vehicle uses a 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

2. Check Wheel Dimensions: Ensure the 17x8 +45 configuration is appropriate for the vehicle.

3. Confirm Center Bore Compatibility: Determine whether hub-centric rings are required.

4. Verify Brake Clearance: Check clearance around factory or aftermarket brake calipers.

5. Inspect Suspension Clearance: Ensure sufficient clearance around struts, coilovers, control arms, and related components.

6. Check Fender Clearance: Verify that the wheel and tire combination will not contact the fenders during steering or suspension compression.

7. Select Compatible Tires: Use tire sizes approved for an 8-inch-wide wheel and appropriate for the vehicle.

8. Use Proper Lug Hardware: Install compatible 60-degree conical-seat lug nuts or bolts with the correct thread specifications.

9. Inspect Hub Mounting Surfaces: Clean corrosion and debris from the wheel mounting surfaces.

10. Install Hub-Centric Rings if Required: Use appropriately sized rings when the wheel center bore is larger than the vehicle's hub.

11. Install TPMS Sensors: Use compatible tire pressure monitoring sensors where required.

12. Mount and Balance Tires: Have tires professionally installed and balanced.

13. Torque Lug Hardware: Follow the vehicle manufacturer's specified tightening sequence and torque requirements.

14. Install the Center Cap: Secure the matching Konig center cap according to the manufacturer's instructions.

15. Verify Final Fitment: Check wheel and tire clearance throughout the required suspension and steering travel.

16. Recheck Lug Torque: Follow the applicable wheel and vehicle manufacturer recommendations after initial driving.

17. Maintain the Finish: Clean using wheel-safe products suitable for gloss-painted aluminum wheels.

Important: Additional components such as hub-centric rings, aftermarket lug nuts, extended wheel studs, or spacers may be required depending on the vehicle. All supporting hardware must be selected for the specific application.
