Hello. Got a question. I am running General Grabbers 245-70-16 on my stock rims. I want to buy new rims. I want them in the 16 inch size so i dont need to buy new tires cause i just bought my generals. I am on a stock lift. What size rim with back spacing do I need and what is the lug pattern so I can run new wheels on a stock jeep?

I say keep the stock wheels
any thing else with those tires and you will have rubbing issues

Rather than drop $300 or more on a set of rims save up a little longer and drop $500 or so on a GOOD lift

If you want rims, and have 245 tires, I personally think that the 16x8 Soft 8's with 5" of BS ( 5x4.5 BP) look great on KJ's. I honestly like them better than Moabs on many colors of jeep. Used Moabs are another option, but are a bit pricier.
