ok i'm finally lifted and still runnin my stock 17"x7" wheels and tires.
my libby looks kinda silly with the stock tires and 17" chrome wheels.
can i run 16's" on my limited or do i have to stay with 17's"?

also- any good suggestions on aftermarket 16" wheels ?
or any place to get the factory 16" other than ordering through Jeep? :?

check jparts.com they are cheaper then most places and free shipping if your over a certain amount....and yes you can run 16's as long as they have the same lug pattern you do...

As for aftermarket wheels...I'm running American Eagle Wheels Series 136...16x8" with 4.5" backspace (I believe, I can never remember, but i think that is right)

lug spacing is 4.5" apart I believe....with a 5-lug set-up

go 16 as it has better tire options and more ideal for off roading... ie airing down

MOAB are ideal...
