I picked up those five 245/75R16 Rubi MT/R's the other day because the deal was too good and wanted to give you local guys a little more time to have at them. They have a lot of tread left, don't look to have been offroad, and the spare is brand new (brand new cost about $150-175 alone). If you want them, bring me $175 and they are yours. I'll give it until August 16, then I will sell them on CO4x4 or Craigslist for $350. |

If I had the room I would jump on this but since I already have an extra set sitting in the garage... For $175 you really can't beat this deal. I know that KJ4ME was asking about MT/Rs the other day. Maybe he'll post soon. If not, I'm sure that someone will want them after the Wheeler Lake run.

id love to take these but i dont think they will fit on the stock 16-inch alloy wheel, will they??? ive never really had a problem out of my goodyear SR-A's (or as i call them, senior airmen) but i hear they wear down quickly and unevenly and suck in the rain/snow/ice and are paper thin..... if they dont fit the stock wheels, id just have to invest in some el-cheapo rims, thats no biggie! what do u guys think? tires, or save for more armor? |

I can't see why they wouldn't fit the alloy rims; as long as it has the proper width and diameter, it's a rim 
Edit: here are a couple of pictures of guys running the alloy rims with MT/Rs: Vern from Tucson 
Jim (another AZ guy) 
Looking at the last pic, I think Jim has the Moab rims, but Vern definitely has the aluminum rims that came with the Limiteds. |

KJ4ME has an '07 which I'm pretty sure has 17" rims, so they won't fit.

That's what I was responding to, but if he has the 17" rims then no, they def would not fit... |

I ran MT/Rs on 16x7 rims for 3 years before I upgraded my rims (last month). The only issue you might have is clearance until you get a lift. IMO, I would get these and hold onto them until the lift was installed then put them in at the same time. You really can't beat the price considering a brand new set from the Goodyear store can run up to $1000 for 5. |

That price is so good I'd be tempted to drive up to CO to pick them up (if I didn't already have a decent set of 245/75s)... |

Would be mind shipping these? I'll pay you well  . All you would have to do is tape the label on them, no packaging neccessary  .

second... donnie, isnt your KJ all pimped out??? i just dont see you rollin' on MTR's... im confused by this... No lol, it was. I took the rims off and sold them, basically they were too big and it wasn't much fun to drive around. Right now I'm lookin' like this: 
In the first picture, if you look to left I can't get over the 'whoops'. They're hard to see and don't look like anything but, right after the puddle it goes straight down and theres' a series of slow dips about 10 ft. deep that I'd get high centered on. |
