mrneen, are you buying these because you like them or for the price? Reason being with the offsets that these wheels are available in they are made to be used with bigger tires. These wheels are going to stick out and give you a wider look but with the skinny tires you are going to put on will defeat that purpose. Its up to you in the end ... I just think there are better options for your needs. Something with much more offset will be better suited for you.

The 16x7 which is the recommended size for you will stick out a lot having a 0 offset. You will be better off to find a wheel that is 16x7 with an offset of +25 to +40. Stock offset for the KJs I believe is +40.

i just like them.. i know nothing about all of this.. backspacing, etc. i think i am just going to keep my stock rims and put on different tires.... if i went to 225/75/16 on my stock rims would they fit?
(i like the wider tire look)

245-70s fit and are wider than a 75 series

NO ... you should have a few options for that tire size ... I know BFG has their A/T KO that size. Also the General Grabber AT2 comes in that size.

That tire will work out to being 29.5" tall (which is just a little over stock) and 9.8" wide which is a good amount wider then stock.

Is there a big differnce with a: 15x8, 4inBS, and -12.00mm offset, and; 15x8, 4inBS, and +6.00mm offset? Or will the wheel/tire just sit out another 18mm if I get the first one over the second one?

-12 is way too low that will stick out very far. You will probably have camber issues with a -12 offset. Even the +6 is pushing it ... You can forget about full flex because they will stick out too far to tuck in the wheel well.[/img]

I have 245/70r16 grabbers on the 16x8 Cragars on my unlifted 05. I had to hammer the pinch weld down and trim a little off the fender flares front and back. They look great though and the extra width improves handling.

I have the same tires on stiock rims on my 03 KJ and they don't rub at all.
