Tommy Posted January 31, 2015 Posted January 31, 2015 I decided not to reinvent the, uh, wheel and went with soft 8s in 16x8. I just got my 285/75r16 tires in. For me 16s worked out cheaper than 15s. I think 16 is the new 15 now that 17 is the new 16 and 18 the new 17. If you know what I mean.
ggcnash Posted February 1, 2015 Posted February 1, 2015 Benefit of going with spidertrax and 17" 5x5 jeep wheels the tires are dirt cheap on CL MT's,AT's, and radials. The best part for me most of them are around the 32" range perfect with my lift.
poopypants Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 ^this^ Get a set of spacers/adapters off ebay for $100 Surf craigslist and you'll find 10 sets of jk rubicon wheels and tires for sale for 400-900 Bfg mud terrain 265 (about 32") Keeps it all jeep and subtle
ScottJeep Posted February 3, 2015 Posted February 3, 2015 Just sometimes gotta be in the right place at the right time. 4 16" MOABs with tires.... $225.00 CL find. And the super cool guy held them for me until I was out his way. Also had the MOABs on a prior XJ and run them on the 05' KJ. Always like the RAVINEs as well and ECCOs are doable just not a first choice.
xjrev10 Posted February 6, 2015 Posted February 6, 2015 I'm a huge fan of OE wheels. They just last. Now I live in the salt infested north tho. Aftermarket wheels last maybe 2-3 years at best before they look terrible. I had those DCII wheels and they looked like crap even sooner. Buy a set of spacers, good ones, and run some JK wheels. They are the best bang for the buck IMO right now. I've paid up to $350 for 5 wheels and as low as $50 for 5 wheels. The deals are out there!
Rockfrog Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 I am going with a set of Charger 2325's probably throw a set of JK bfg take off tires on them eventually, but there is a set of 245/70/17's for $150 locally that I'm going to use first. I grabbed some Jeep centers for them as well, and yeah, I'm likely going to paint them ... either a Satin Black or a Graphite ... it will better match the eventual paint job the MJ will get. But, hey, I liked black wheels long before they were cool.
glundblad Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 Early chrome addiction days. :yes: The original plan was to slam it with bags w. 18" wheels and flare the fenders over them. Longbeds look good slammed. Got sidetracked later though.......... Don, You were actually going to slam it? Say it ain't so? And you actually had a tube bumper too? :???:
HOrnbrod Posted February 7, 2015 Posted February 7, 2015 :rotfl2: Yes, I actually was, just to do something different. A local shop specialized doing this and I was a frequent visitor going over plans for the first known (to me and them) slammed MJ. But the plan didn't last long and I came to my senses. The tube bumper wasn't factory; it was an aftermarket unit manufactured by Genuine Steel.
