LOST JEEPS :: View topic - JK rubicon wheels

This was a few years ago and i never did drive it, it was for poops and giggles.

I dont know anymore what tires were on the rims, but they were bigger than my mtrs

Well, going to get my wheels this week. $400 for 5 with about 5k on 4 of them, none on spare. I will need to get TPMS (about 150) and wheel spacers (200) so still cheaper than getting new tires alone!

I am debating between spidertax at 1.25" giving me a 5" bs
or Rugged Ridge/Omix Ada 1.375 (3/8) giving me a tad less bs... roughly the same price, I just want to end up with the least amount of rubbing. I know 1/8" is not a huge amount...

That's a good price on TPMS , I just priced them at 52.50 each after market.

is that with tires or just the wheels because i got a set of 5 with tires for 150 last year

Looking good. can't wait to see the wheels on the kj.

I know they are 17x7.5 on 5x5 w/ 6.25 BS so with 1.5" wheel spacers they would be at a very good width...but 1.25" are the only size adapters so that puts the insde of the wheel only .25 inch further out from the unibody not the best for tire clearance. If I am doing the math right, Moab rims that are 16x8 with 5" BS comes out at exactly the same distance from the unibody rail as stock right? So these should work?? I remember seeing one kj with them, but now I can't find the picture/member who had them. My searching this forum turned up some good and bad info. So anyone on here tried them lately? Very tempting since TJ Moab wheels are becoming rare.

I'd still wait so you don't have to mess with spacers

I ran spidertrax before, they were okay, the major concern for me was the extra width putting stress on the wheel bearings and such. Not so in this case. Tommudd, I thought you posted on the member with the JK wheels, do you remember? I searched through the picture forum and wheel forum with no luck.

Could you post pictures? What tires are you using and do you have rubbing?

I will likely wait to get these until I get new tires so I don't have to pay for re-mounting. teckman02 wrote: is that with tires or just the wheels because i got a set of 5 with tires for 150 last year Wheels and tires. Good deal for Hawaii (everything, like everything, is more expensive here... Milk costs 6 bucks a gallon)

Got those cheap spacers in... they do not have matching studs (smaller, different pitch I think also) But I got the spare on The spacer adds .5 inch width (compared to stock), I would prefer it sitting closer to the Jeep

Not KM2s

Post subject:	Re: JK rubicon wheels
Yeah, just KM1, looks like this is the only size they make them in still, one of the few tires that even come in this size. I do like the size though, not quite as wide as 265's, we'll just have to see if they fit

Bought two of these, I will use them for mock set up for trimming until I buy the spidertrax. Then I will use one for the spare, and sell the other single... http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-25-Wheel-Spacers-5x4-5-to-5x5-Set-of-2-12x1-5-5Lug-Adapters-/230841057260?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item35bf32ffec&vxp=mtr
