I haven't been in there but my tires are BALD. Like I'm seriously afraid to take hard corners, they are in real terrible shape haha. The guy at 4WD said he would have to charge me a tire disposal fee of $8 each.. So I'm probly just gonna keep the rubber on my stock rims and keep em in the garage for now. 10 mins at 300 in the oven should work out no problem, and with the rest of your black-outs, they should look sweet. Even if you don't take the plunge I think I'm gonna follow your lead with the side markers and tail lights so I'll try to have some pics up by Monday...

Oops, Just saw in my old post I said 16x7's.. thats what I've been looking at, but now getting those tires to stick out is bouncing around in my head, maybe some 16x8's AND spacers?? Ahh I dunno, we'll see.

JEEP- Just Empty Every Pocket

Don't get 16x8 steel wheels. Theyre like 10lbs heavier then 7s. Plus with 245 wide tires they would be to wide anyway. Also don't add spacers to 16x7 4" bs or you will have terrible rub, unless you're thinkin with the stock rims. If you do get the 16x7 with 4" the rims will be flush with the outside of the wheel well, you don't really want them sticking out too far.

Also if you're going to purchase steel 16x7 you should consider 15x7 with 4" bs. They will also fit, weight less, cost less and have more tire sizes in cheaper prices.

Wow, good to know about the 16x8s and the spacers. I'm also a newb to the wheels/tires game, for Jeeps anyway. I'm still used to the pizza cutters from my old ride, And I thought the 15x7s wouldn't fit over the stock brakes?

If you get steel wheels with a 4 inch backspace they will be ok..
I believe stock is 5.5 inches of backspace. It's like adding a 1.5 inch spacer, but without the headaches.

So I talked with a guy at discount tire and he was saying that KK's are capable of fitting up to a 265/70R16 at stock. That is according to his system. He told me I could bring in my KK and they will put on tires to see how they look with different sizes. He was saying that with the lift I could fit even bigger. He also said that I should be able to put a 265 on without spacers and it will give it that flush appearance with the fenders. Anyone have any input on this?

Im pretty sure 245/70 is the largest stock

You can probably go with the 265/70R16's, but you will have major rubbing.

Either 245/75 or MAYBE 255/70. If you go too wide of a tire with the stock rims they could potentially rub the uca and sway bar.

I put a 2.5" Daystar lift on my 08 as well. I got some 16" Enkie wheels with 245/75R16 Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's. This size tire fills up the wheel wells and I had had zero issue with rubbing.

Another plus to having a 245/75/16 is it will fit in the stock spare location so you can have a full size spare. Idk if you can fit much bigger then that. My 265/75 is too big to fit with a hitch. With the hitch removed it almost fits but is still too low hanging.

Yeah I put a full size spare under mine as well. I don't have a hitch on mine, and it barely fits.

So is everyone against spacers??? Discount Tire told me that they won't even mount tires for me if I have spacers on. No biggie, I can do it myself but. I know Turboshocks said to go Hub Centric so that's the route I would most likely go if I do this. Looking for any/all advice!
