What about these rims?

Anyone running these? They look like KMC Enduros...
Just a few questions they should be fine with a lift? Enough offset & everything? I plan on going to 245/75/16 after I get my franky.

Edit:

Actually after seeing a few pics, Id like to run 265/70/16 or 265/75/16. But I dont want to cut the Cr@p out of my bumber. I know I will have pound the pinch weld and that.

265-70 sits on a 8 inch wide wheel better than a 245-75 ( even though yes Jeep did it)
try and get a 5 inch backspacing which is the same as the Moabs if you go that route. Also I pounded over my pinch weld , but am not close with the 265-70-16 BFGs of course the ARB takes care of the front :wink:

I ran the American Racing ATX Victor's for a few months (same size and backspacing) and had horrendous rubbing with my 265/75's.

P.S. looked at the price they offered and it is about 50 bucks higher than other places for the same size in the ATX rim. Should be spending about $125 or so a wheel for 16x8, not $175...

Check here better deals on the AR ATX's http://www.sporttruckspecialty.com/wheels/americanracing/teflonwheels.htm. That's the store I picked my set up from about two years ago. Good customer service and shipping rates.

Mike,

What size are you running?

So I think I am going to stick with 245/75/R16. I will be safe then & I wont play on my MPG or anything right? & it wont affect my speedo?

I'm running 265/75 16's on a 7" Cragar Soft 8 with 4" BS... A 245/75 is 1.5" - 2" bigger and weighs lot more than your stock tires and wheels. All of which MPG and speedo accuracy, shift points, etc. Some of which can be corrected with lower gears. Good news is your speedo was probably off from the factory. With 265's mine is spot on compared to my GPS and the 'radar signs'.

I don't have a problem with it, but just be careful with that avatar...
