Going back through these pics.
In the first pic, I noticed that your boat, and trailer may have fallen off somewhere. Did it just keep going into the water???

Unclejjg - Yes, I believe it was because of the positioning of the wheel within the wheelwell.

FL RENNY & Shoey40 - 8) Thanks. I spent a lot of time searching the internet for just the right wheel. Most of the wheels out there I don't like and the ones that I do like have the wrong backspacing. I ran spacers on my factory wheels and they rubbed especially on lock while backing; not much but enough to be annoying.

MNKK - I was hoping, If I backed up to the water "they would come" :P

the picture with side by side KK is what I like.
it really shows a good before and after..

I can not wait to show the wife what a 2 inch lift looks like...

I think we will go for a 2.5 inch with facotry wheel and it will be fine.
the wheel will look a little small but that is ok..

the 235/60/18 are interesting pick from Jeep.

What or which wheel you tried had 4 3/4 back spacing? Was it picture number 4 ? If so it looks like those are Moabs ?
If so they (Moabs) have 5 inches of back spacing, just curious and making sure everyone knows if trying to determine which wheels they need :wink:

Those are Moab knock-offs. My brother let me try them on my Jeep to see what I would need to make them (33 inchers) fit. He told me that the place where he got the rims listed them as 4-3/4 BS.
I also used my factory wheels with 1-1/4" spacers (w/265-65) and it placed the tires too far out of the fender and they would rub at full lock

Moab knock offs ??? OK are they cheaper or what also why not the same backspacing then? I mean you can pick up Moabs pretty cheap so wondering why they are making knock offs and not even the same backspacing...just curious

Double checked about the BS and I am correct.
The cost of his were $500 for 5.
Purchased off ebay from the company that makes them.
