Hey Buddy, thanks for reaching out!
The Lionshead Bearcat line of wheels was labeled as no longer available a while back so you'll be hard-pressed to find them anywhere. Since this is the case, I recommend picking up the 17-1/2" Aluminum Lynx Trailer Wheel # LI44FR instead since it has somewhat of a similar design, and an 8 on 6-1/2" bolt pattern.
Is this for a spare tire, or are you needing to replace one of your regular tires/wheels?
