Wheel Choices

[88pioneer]

In the market for new tires and wheels. I'm most likely going to run BFG KM2's in the 33x10.5 flavor. I've got Cragar D windows now, but they have ridiculous amounts of back spacing to the point where my 11.5's nearly rub the rear frame rails. I'm looking into either cragar D windows again, or soft 8's. Either one will have 4 inch back spacing an be a 15x8, just looking for opinions from people on either one, which one you like better

TJ canyons. may favorite rim ever. 15x8 with "jeep" backspacing.

[88pioneer]

i would consider some nice canyons, but i like black, and most jeep wheels i find around here are for waaaaay too much

[Pete M]

paint is cheap. :D

[88pioneer]

o i know that, 3 of the 4 jeeps i've owned have had spray painted wheels :clapping:

i'm a fan of d windows more than soft 8's. soft 8's are on every tj it seems.

I LOOOVE black steels, and have always had a chubby for these...

If you haven't bought the tires yet, why not get KM2's in 255/85-16's?

 

Mine tuck in nicely on factory 16x7's (5.25"bs),

even with a slightly narrower than stock rear, they aren't that close to the rear 'frame':

 

I don't really have any good pics that show the tires.

Wow, two trucks with matching license plates - what are the odds of that…?

I 'painted' in an extra '8' on the Grandpa Jeep just to keep things legit. ;)

thats the thing i don't like about stock wheels, no tire poke. I don't like ridiculous amounts of tire sticking out, but a little bit looks good. My tires sit flush with the flares now, and with the 5" lift it looks too skinny.

[Pete M]

TJ rims stick out 1" more than the regular 15x7s since they are 15x8. :D wheel spacers in the rear will make the rear match the front.

and theres my other problem, i just bought an 8.8 so thats gonna need spacers just to get it to stock width

Or different offset wheels ...

[Pete M]

you might want those spacers regardless of wheel choice. even with a stock MJ axle, the bed is wider than the front.
