Hi all,

Currently stock with my KK's jet rims and the tires are ready to be changed. So I figured I would change the wheels while I'm at it.

Looking at the Mamba MRX1 16x8 and from what I can see there should be no issues with offset, size, etc. I've read on here that people were able to accommodate 245/70r16's with no rub, does anyone has experience with this size or should I look something smaller? I'll be eventually installing a lift kit but at the moment I want to stay close to stock overall wheel size.

First time doing this so would appreciate any advice, thanks in advance!

That tire size is fine even without a lift. It’s generally known that the Jet build cannot fit 16” rims due to their larger front brakes. 17” will fit with room to spare.

Thanks, will look for 17s

If you run an 8 inch wide wheel keep it at 5 inches of backspacing
PLUS no matter what 245-70s are too narrow for my tastes on an 8 inch wide wheel
need at least 8 inches of tread width to look right
unless you have one of those little cars from across the pond

What size would you suggest? Taking me forever to find a set of wheels that I like. What is everyone's opinions on spacers/adapters? I see a ton of mixed reviews, I assume it all depends on the manufacture.

IF, 16 X 8 with 5 inches of backspacing 265-70-16s work well when lifted
