I will be getting a gift certificate to summit racing for xmas. For anyone who uses a 16" rim: Could you send me a link to the exact rim your using? I want to have 4" backspacing but it seems that they cant do that/dont have it in their catalog for some reason. Any and all help is appreciated.

I've got these:

They're sweet looking and the price is right. Holds up to rocks real well also.

Only if they made them with a simulated bead lock, then I would get them.

They do:

But why pay so much more for simulated...

Myke · **Posted:** Sun Dec 18, 2005 5:07 pm

do they have actual bead locks? and what would be the downside to running actual bead locks?

lilmatty · **Posted:** Sun Dec 18, 2005 5:09 pm

You can do the research.

Real bead locks are illegal in some states for street use. Check your local laws.

There are only two different street legal (D.O.T. approved) beadlocks on the market. Those that come on Hummers (real Hummers, not H2s and H3s) and a set of aftermarket ones that are 17" and are made of titanium, priced around $1000 each.

Matt-I saw in another thread these Cragers are "one of the only two 15" rims to fit a KJ". You have the 16" ones? Can you tell if there's enough caliper clearance to fit the 15" wheel and confirm this? If so, I'm definatly going with those. Fatter Meat.

Suppose I can just meansure when it warms up but figured I'd ask.

I waited a year for the 16" to come out in that Black D design. I wouldn't know if those 15s will fit but other 15s like the ones off of an XJ and TJ didn't fit.

So, for this design go with the 15s. Also note the backspace is 3" wider, total, than the stockers.
