Hey everyone, got a quick question for you all. I was on the internet today and someone locally is selling a set of 5 Rubicon tires and stock rims for a few hundred dollars. 4 used tires and rims for $300 obo with 50% tread left and then the full size spare is new with no road use at all. ($150 for the spare) Now I wanted to do skid plates first as my spring upgrade but if this is a good deal I might want to jump on this. Now I know alloy rims are decently expensive but are the stock rubicon ones worth buying a set of 5 for that price? At the moment I am trying to figure out what tires are on them now but I plan on getting Goodyear Wrangler MT/R tires since they should fit on those rims. Also I have 17 inch tires and stuff on my Liberty now. ![]() Let me hear what you all suggest, and thank you. |

If those are JK Rubi wheels you'll need an adapter to run those. We have 5x4.5 and the JK moab is 5x5 Seems like a good deal but the adapters will run around $200 Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk |

TJ Rubicon Moab wheels will bolt up fine. That would be 2006 or earlier. |

I am pretty sure they came off a 2011 so they have the 5x5. I think it might be better to not get them and just get ones that are 5x4.5. |

Good luck finding the tj moabs. They are hard to come by and people want something stupid for them. Sent from my LG-D801 using Tapatalk |

Quadratec sells an aftermarket version for quite a bit less. I'm wondering if it's the same quality and strength of the factory wheel? |
