did you check wheel visualizer at www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/Wheel_Visualizer.cfm

I don't think they got ACRs you are looking for, but they got pretty darn close ones, and it gives you some idea how they will look.

I've got that set on my 03 lifted,but have'nt had a chance to take any pics yet.They are sharp,resonably priced and very easy to take care of.I'll try to get some pics soon,but I'd say go ahead and get them,you won't be disappointed.16x8 4 1/2" backspacing with 4 1/2 bolt pattern on 5 lugs.Everyone on this forum runs the rubi wheels and they all look alike to me. :roll:

Tomz Wheels.com.Very good price and fast shipping.

yeah...please get me some pics of your jeep. what price per wheel did you get them for? i have a place that can get them for me for 88 bucks a wheel and then 6 bucks for each center cap...then the lugs i think are 1 a piece....

Go to "TOMZ WHEELS.com. Mine came with center caps,chrome lugnuts,and chrome valve stems.Check back for a post,as I will get some pics in a day or two.You can see pics with lift and stock wheels at "Pics of LiLredLibby"on the Pics of your rig section.I think they where about 400.00 delivered to Ohio.His Company is in Indiana,the shipping was lightning fast and price was best I found on the web.

You know what, they got nice wheels there, but it's bad that you cannot look up by vehicle specifically.

this one is nice, and good price also.

whole list is here: https://host279.ipowerweb.com/~tomzwhee ... 5b983d4252
it is slow but loads.

Yes...but,because of the 5.5 backspaced factory wheel,we are limited to only 4 or 5 wheels according to application.You do have other choices,it will just set the wheel out about an inch or so farther.IMO it looks better with a wider stance.

but doesn't that cause extensive wear on the wheel base, I am no pro, but I would say wider it is more you would need to extend it out, since you cannot mount wider than a certain width on the fronts, maybe you could get away with rears, but fronts will need some room when turning.
I totally agree with your wider stance comment, I have seen a few and possibly took pictures and it looks great with tires sticking out the fenders..

What do we have to look for when considering new rims? Backspacing, pattern, etc?

edit: this was the one I spotted, you can't tell much from the quality of the picture, but It shows:

As posted above,you will need a 5 lug,41/2"bolt pattern,16x8,with 41/2" backspacing.

When i first opened the box,the wheels had a mirror finish.They are highly polished to look like chrome.With an 8" width wheel and 4 1/2 backspacing,I would'nt think you should have any rubbing issues.And for the future,if you add a lift and bigger tires,these same wheels can still be used.
