Looking for a set of wheels to go with a bigger tire.... i know that backspacing is key .... cragers are cheap and will prob do the job, any ideas ?

I know not many guys on here really change out their wheels to get a larger tire on as its difficult to do on the KKs.

Thanks

Iirc a 16x7 with 4" backspace works/looks good with a 245/75/16 tire. 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern.

7 inch wheel will run any tire that you can install on a KK or for that matter a KJ
Are you needing wheels or just wanting new wheels?
Stock wheels work great with 245-75-16s just had one in the garage last weekend with daystar and that size on stockers

Check out Pro Comps 89 and 28 series, 16x8, both at 4.5 BS, 0 offset, 2200lbs rated alloys and they are black too.

I'm in the same boat as you. I just put 245-75-16 on my stockers and i want a little bit of a wider stance. I just cant decide if I want black wheels on a white jeep or if I want white wheels on a white jeep, kind of like the overland liberty mopar did up. i have a photoshop picture of both just cant decide. lol
