17.5 wheels are tubeless as all 14.5,16.5,19.5,22.5,24.5,etc are
and are very easy and save to service the
problem is a finding a selection of7-17.5 or 8-17.5 tires. (the size 7 or 8 17.5 depends upon the wheel width.)
find a good TRUCK tire shop (not a pass car tire store) and have them try to locate for you. most tire people today do not know anything about the 17.5 wheels as they have not been used as std equipment since maybee the late 60's or early 70's

rim size should be stamped on the wheel
if not drop me a note & i will tell you how to measure (even with the tire on the wheel)
