Anyone ran these on a stock CRD? On any KJ? I have a stock 06 CRD and want to run a 15" tire = to 225/75r16 with the TJ 15" rockmonster. Any thoughts?

The Hutchinson double internal beadlocks with the right bolt pattern to fit on a KJ will not clear the caliphers and they measure 9" wide,even though they are advertized at 8", so you would need to run a 12.50" wide tire at min.

Don't get me wrong these are thee best beadlock rims out there,DOT legal,but are not sized right for use on a KJ,now a SFA KJ they would work(I plan on getting some in the 17" size).And at $400 or so each they are pricey(but so worth it) and the weight is about 60-66lbs each rim.

Don't send the Kj Gods to hurt me but what about the Defender 90 wheel Hutchinson makes?? 16X7 and 4.89 BS. The only drama is the 6.5" bolt circle but some thin adapters will work (5 bolt to 5 bolt).

Your adapters would have to be at least 1.5" thick to go from the LR lug pattern to the KJ 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern,then that would make the BS 3.39",those rims will actually measure 8" wide so your still stuck with a min of a 245+ tire and with that BS you will need about 3"+ of lift and still will need to do alot of trimming to minimize the rubbing.

Thanks. Can't blame a guy for digging. :o)

Do you have any rear bumpers available? Is the "flat" above the 2" receiver and in the license plate area strong enough to handle a pintle hook??

Good Troy, I was worried you'd get the blingy wheels. Flat black is the way to go. Man that is a ton of cash for wheels but as always, you get what you pay for. I am sure we all can't wait to see the pics.

You sure do get what you pay for,don't be looking for them on my KJ anytime soon,when I get the $4500 needed for the rims and tires then I will get them after the SFA is done of course.
