Ok guys Christmas is almost here and I think Im going to get some Cragars. What is the official name of those Soft 8 wheels? So I need the best size and backsapce for my 05 with disks all over and 2.5" lift. I will be getting 245/75/16s after Christmas. Where is the best place to get them at? I just need to give a link to my wife to the right stuff so she can get them for me. Please throw out some thoughts.

Not exactly. I don't know the best place to get them at. I bought mine second-hand (still new in boxes) from a local guy. Just about any tire shop ought to be able to get them for you with that info, though.

Quadratec. (16 x 8 ) = $52.99 http://www.quadratec.com/products/92601_4XX_B_PG.htm
Jegs (16 x 8 ) = $55.99 http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product2_10001_10002_754162_-1

Check out this site for similar Cragar wheels. Many are close to the same price and you could make your jeep stand out a bit more than this standar Black Soft 8s (I like the series 365 - black V5). http://www.acmejeepparts.com/Showcases/cragar_custom_steel_wheels/jeep_wheels.php

Perfect. Just the style I was looking for in a black wheel. Under $300 shipped for 5 new wheels. Not bad.

Not only that they also have real beadlockers.

They're 15"s though. Will they fit on a KJ?

edit: does anyone else get "product not found" for a lot of the items on that website?

The ones I ordered were not bead locks and darn it they are on back order too.

Hopefully they will show up in the next couple of weeks or I will have a lifted SFA KJ and no tires and wheels.

Check out discount tire - they sell these under the brand "Unique" and they are the same, made in the same factory, but reportedly cheaper.

Incidently, I learned this after I got what I felt was still a fair price at Summit Racing (bought 2 for my trailer).

Thanks guys! Will the wheels stick out far with 5" backspace?
