potential new wheels?

will they work on a KJ? what tires would be recommended?

I know the Rubicon TJ wheels are 8" wide with 4.75" B.S. so I am not sure about the 7" wheel with 4" BS

if you run a wheel like this some pics would be great.

Im wondering if/how much would stick out past the flare.....

edit for clarity!

ok so I am looking at some soft 8's. 16" x 7" with 4" BS

You have the wrong backspacing listed on the Moabs
They brings the edge right out almost even with the flare, which then presents more problems since you have to run more bumpstops to keep them from tearing the flares off Stick with a 265-70 or 245-75
lots of pictures in the Tire/wheel section

So you're not looking at Rubicon wheels then

What are they then ?
16 X 7 with 4 inch backspacing is what more run in the Soft 8s

If your lifted your fine with the 16x7 rim with 4" back spacing.

Stock tire sizes works,245/70's work,245/75's work,255/70's work,265/70's work,265/75's work,and any 9.5" or 10.5" tires work(more in 15" rim sizes).

it will be on a 2.5" lift. it looks like stock rubicon tires should fit then.

The Rubicon alloy's are 16x8 with 5" of back spacing,no tire thinner then a 245 should be mounted on them but a 8" rim is best suited for a 12.5" wide tire.

ok. im just thinking of potential places to look for used AT's or something.

I thought 245/75/16 was stock on the Rubicon.
