Without doing any searches, and i know I've read it before....


What would the benefit be to using a 2003 TJ Rubicon wheel (and the MTR's that come with them). I can buy 5 for about 6-700 Canadian. Will this give the Libby a wider stance at all? I like the wheels that I have (Renegade 2005 Libby), but with the lift, I always wonder if it would be wise to go wider. I don' like the idea of wheel spacers.

Thanks

Basically...should I buy these?

16X8 5 inches of backspacing so a little wider stance but if you like the wheels you have now why change, that extra little bit will not make that much difference. 6to700 seems to be the going rate anymore or what some think they are worth, how good are the tires?
I have them but only because I like the looks of them! :wink: I have had mine for 3 years or so came with MTRs which I sold right away!

I do like the rims I have now. If it's only a little wider, I'll hold off until I can afford a Cragar Soft 8 with a wider stance and some MT's of some kind or another.

Thanks for the advice. the money will stay in the bank.

I have them too and like the look a lot, even with the noisy MT/R's :lol: I will get something quieter if I ever wear these out. :JEEPIN:
