Didn't you have 315s on there somehow?

Sold the moabs and mtr's. These are 16x10 champion beadlocks with 33's.
I still have the 35's, they will go on eventually. As soon as the last part of the SFA comes. Who can guess what I'm waiting for?

Love it. I really want a proper roof rack. I have a basket and KK crossbars but it sits way too high.

How are those fitting? Trying to get the KJs exact rub points down so I can figure out the 255/85s.

Thanks, its the RRO rack, affordable and you can remove the rack itself and still leave the rails, and it sits about 1/8" off the roof

That would be cool, but they are even taller than those 33's! If you figure it out, let me know! My 255/75r17 clear, but I can't see adding more than a 1/2" and still working.

I'm going to look into it, thanks. I really like the 255/75r17. I think it is a much better option than 265/75r16.

I've seen worse:

But then tucking in the fenders is an issue:

I have 265/70 and I see so much more potential in these fenders haha.

I might just throw 235/85s on though.

They are not fitting... With the weight of the front ARB, the RTT and the rear bumper, there are alot of rub points.

Wheels are the worst issue you have right now, way too wide and the worst backspacing ever.
Heck don't need 10 inch wide wheels unless you running 40s

Yep that one lasted a very short time before it was total junk. But with a cobbled together lift, junk tires thats what you get

What type of wheels are you thinking about. I too have been debating whether or not to change up my wheels. I have been leaning towards these....

I am not to sure about backspacing though.

They'd look sweet painted black on a black jeep with some chrome centers!

Or a silver one! :ROTFL:

I will never buy chrome centers again, they turn into crumpled up cans.

Was referring to a set of antique baby moons

How many on here even know what baby moons are ? :wink:

With the right combination of parts it would look good, but also would look good with just chrome lugnuts & white letter tires ( even though I don't like them on a 4 wheel drive )
Old school look, I still have some Crager centers from back in the early 70s that they only made for a short time. They were made for chrome reverse wheels. They would look great as well and they never rusted . Have kept them since 1975. :shock:
