RamblinRingo Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 What kinda wheels does everyone like? I'm getting some for the manche and need some input I can get 4 of these American racing wheels off Craigslist for $150 they are 15x10. Does anyone think they will look good. Ill be putting 33/12.5/15 pro comp mt2s on em. Any objections?
jeepsouth Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I'm running ravines ,and really like the look of them on my mj.
Automan2164 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Just my personal preference, but I think those are about the ugliest wheels ever produced. These, and their polished counterpart. Also, judging by the size of the hub hole, the one you have pictured, if it is the one off the CL ad, won't fit. Looks more like CJ sized than MJ/XJ. Rob
shelbyluvv Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I think Outlaw IIs are perfect for an MJ. Old school look and clean up real nice.
Incommando Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Another fan of factory rims with bigger tires. I second that those appear to by the 5x5.5 bolt pattern of CJ's/Dodge/Ford and not the 5x4.5 bolt pattern that most every jeep (including the MJ) from the mid-'80s to 2008 or so had.
RamblinRingo Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 I know they are 5x5 but I'm gonna get some adapters that are 1.25 spacers also and then put 12.5 tires on the 10 inch rim. I like the outlaws also but can't find any on CL that are 15x10 only 15x8 and that's to skinny for the look I want
Automan2164 Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 Spacers? I wouldn't go that far. They made plenty of those wheels in our lug pattern. I'd wait for a set to pop up. Rob
AMCJeepMJ Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I run Silverstars during the summer and Gamblers during the winter.
Minuit Posted October 17, 2013 Posted October 17, 2013 I'm partial to Jeep wheels myself. I've never found an aftermarket set of wheels that matched the style and 'feel' of my truck, but then again I'm very (extremely) particular about what I'll put on my truck. It's your choice and if you like it, do it. To help you make your mind up, here's those wheels (similar ones anyway) Photoshopped onto your truck. The perspective and size are a bit off and I assumed that you would run them with center caps but it should give you some idea. :thumbsup:
RamblinRingo Posted October 17, 2013 Author Posted October 17, 2013 Minuit, THANKS ALOT MAN! I like the way it looks I'm pulling the trigger on the set tonight. Thanks for the photoshop work man I appreciate it
HOrnbrod Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Just my personal preference, but I think those are about the ugliest wheels ever produced. These, and their polished counterpart. Rob Have to agree with that. But if you like them, it's all good.
Pete M Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 15x10 wheels + spacers + 33x12.5 tires? I have a strong suspicion you'll find your turning radius greatly diminished. :(
Minuit Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Minuit, THANKS ALOT MAN! I like the way it looks I'm pulling the trigger on the set tonight. Thanks for the photoshop work man I appreciate it No problem :thumbsup:
FrankTheDog Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Depending on the back spacing your wheels are going to stick out 4-5 inches more than stock. You're going to blast your nice paint job all to hell and crunch your sheet metal on every bump while turning. Please do some measuring before pulling the trigger on those wheels.
yxmj Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 I like the Eagles I am running...with the deep dish I don't use Spacers
Incommando Posted October 18, 2013 Posted October 18, 2013 Big tires/factory rims. 12.5 tires are great on 8" wide rims.
Eagle Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Big tires/factory rims. 12.5 tires are great on 8" wide rims. Except that the factory rims were all 7-inch (except the ones that were 6-inch).
mvusse Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 On my daily driver I run stock wheels and almost stock sized tires. 15x6 steel wheels in the summer with almost bald mix and match all seasons, and 15x7 aluminum ten spokes in the winter with Wintermark snow tires, both sets in 235/75R15. My play rig has recentered Hummer double beadlocks wrapped with 37x12.50R16.5 military BFGs. My (daughter's) Cherokee has a bit of lift and runs 265/75R16 (32x10.50) on 16x7 Liberty rims and fit completely inside the fenders, although just barely. The KJ Liberty uses the same 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern our trucks use, but the newer KK ones are 5 on 5. There are also a few 16" factory rims that came on select ZJ Grand Cherokees, but these are few and far between. Some TJ Wranglers came from the factory with 15x8 wheels that fit our trucks.
HOrnbrod Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 My play rig has recentered Hummer double beadlocks wrapped with 37x12.50R16.5 military BFGs. Recentered? :hmm:
mvusse Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Stock 7" backspacing center cut out and new centers welded in for 3.25" backspacing. 7" would have put the rear tires too close to the frame rail, and the front would have interfered with the tie rod ends.
HOrnbrod Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Stock 7" backspacing center cut out and new centers welded in for 3.25" backspacing. 7" would have put the rear tires too close to the frame rail, and the front would have interfered with the tie rod ends. Okay - got it.
yxmj Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 Stock: Recentered: I assure you I have more love/respect for that wheel tire combo that your dog did :P
