man those tires will be dry rotted before too much longer :lol:

better get them on there soon! :wink:

You can get those in chrome also.

Officially, the 15" Crager soft 8 question, has become the most asked question ever on the 'net, despite the fact that a search would show gazillions of threads with the info needed..... :lol:

That requires time, and patience.................. and I don't have either! This is much more fun..............

Anyway, after doing some tire research, there seems to be a lot of nice tire options in the 15" range without having to go with a real heavy tire. Lots of tires for 16 and 17 inch wheels, but most are LOAD E and too heavy. I want some sidewall flex, and 15” seems to be where it’s all at. IMO, the Moabs are too wide for the Franky lifted KJ, so I prefer a 7" rim instead of an 8" rim. This seems to be the perfect wheel with the right amount of backspacing. I’m SOLD. :lol:

Not that anyone cares………………….but I’m going with these to match my pretty chrome grill and door molding. :roll:

i want those so bad... got my new tires finally. i just need to pay them off and then i will have them!

Is this the correct bolt pattern for the KJ? And which backspacing should I go with? http://store.summitracing.com/partdetai ... toview=sku

I am running 15x7 with 4" BS too. Works fine. Just have to pound pinch weld, and trim fenders a little. Clevis lift helps too
