These wheels are all 17x8" / 5x4.5 / 4.5" BS, if the safety aspect of a 245 on a by 8 is too risky I'll be running 255/70R17 Cooper AT3's I've narrowed it down to these 3. What do y'all think? And I have a Inferno Red Jeep with a "wee-bit-o" black Herculiner on the old girl. My Heap Riberty -  Black Rock's -  U.S Wheel -  Pro Comp -

Why 17X8? I'd stick to 16s , more tire choices and 7 with 4 inches of backspacing works better |

I was waiting on you to reply first Tom lol, I'm going the 245/75r17 duratrac route. I like tall skinny just not 235/85 skinny or a fat woman on stilts as you once said. I like the bigger wheel as well

Won't the 245 be just fine on the x8? I've had zero issues with my factory x7.5" |

I've had zero issues with my factory x7.5" Two things is back spacing and width, width would pass if back spacing was 5 inches or so, or if width was 7 inches you could run a 4 inch back spaced wheel Then you get to the tires and a 32 inch tire presents more issues with the backspacing Tire / wheel combo is going to sit out past the flares some, creating rubbing, height of tires will add even more to that Shorter tire would give less rubbing issues like a 245-70-17 or 265-65-17 would be better suited Then of course no mention of regearing so.....  Yes I had to bring it up as well Plus you're going to need more lift than what you have now, I know you've ordered the top plates but....... |

I figured out what I'm doing finally, getting my Limiteds factory wheels powdered black with a wrinkle finish, adding 1.25" spacers and running those 245/75r17 Duratracs and of course 4.10's |
