Those are nice wheels Mikey. Tyres are useless. What would they cost new? Seems like a bargain if you really like them.

Whose KJ is that? Anyone we know?

If you buy them I might take a few of your alloys off your hands for my trailer, or are you going to have two sets?

I would sell my 4 alloys to help bridge the financial gap of the new ones.....
Do they look like they stick out from the guards more than stock?

Yeah they do look like they stick out but they are eight inchers. Maybe he has spacers on it (illegal for sure).

They look like they would be these:

If you don't I might... :twisted:

I'd be hesitant about the backspacing, looks to be 4 or so ... So as you say they would stick out , but, hey... Beadlock..

Just check .... I think Bead locks (external ones ) are illegal ONROAD..????????

think its just a cosmetic lock on those rims though

What kind of issues could pop up, other than the boys in blue, with having them stick out like that?

they are classic lock's, looks like the first version, the bead lock is just cosmetic and has no real function but to look
cool, go for it Mikey, you may need some more of that stuff you used on your trailer guards though. 16 x 8 alloy's would
need some 265/70 or 265/75 to look right though.

stevemcc · **Posted:** Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:12 am

had to vote - and went with stick with what you have, 265/70 or 75s would be needed to make the rims look right and trust me they cause one or two interesting challenges/problems/argh moments etc. plus lil heep needs a roof :lol:

mikey · **Posted:** Fri Mar 13, 2009 4:16 am

My feeling is they look right as they are, I'm sure the 245 BFG's will look better than those toyo's in the pic do.

Does that sound like I'm trying to talk myself into it :lol:

Min rim size 6.0 optimum rim size 7.0 max rim size 8.0. So should be all ok

Ive got 255/70/16 on my 16X8 MOABS. All good here

If I had the spare cash I'd go for it. Its' a good look. A set of MT MTZ would be the go. Maybe as a 2nd set

Better ask him whether he's selling 4 or 5 - could be a problem if you don't have a spare the same size.

its a her

i have seen that KJ up on rainbow a few times

might have to look at flare extensions to keep the boys in blue happy

mikey · **Posted:** Sat Mar 14, 2009 3:56 am

Got a reply back from the seller.
They have sold the KJ, and just have the wheels now. Looked like it had a Stu lift in it???(Yellow Springs)
Anyway, tyres on it are 255/65/16, said he wasn't running any spacers in that pic, (so it doesn't look like I'll be needing my 6mm Stu spacers anymore), and the beadlocks on the wheels are just cosmetic.
Mentioned he was getting some minor rubbing on the plastics, but hey, who doesn't, darn those small wheel arches!!
