17x9 OR 17x8

[scotlandjk]

hi cant decide which wheels to choose as i would like a wider stance on my jk but wheels that stick out to much are not legal in the uk. i dont mind them sticking out much but not so its really obvious.
the 17x8's have 4.5 backspacing
the 17x9's have 4.75 backspacing
im going to run 32 or 33 tires but would like them to be as wide as possible, with a stock lift.
please give me your thoughts and setups.
anyone know where the best place to get a set of pro comp 7005's but who would ship to uk

cheers

I would recommend 17x8 as it will help to keep your bead on better when aired down. If you want a wider stance, get them with less back spacing. as far as where to get them, try 4WD.com :yup:

thanks for quick reply i looked on 4wd.com but cant find the 7005's have they stopped making them or would they just be out of stock. any other suggestions?

try to contact them directly. 4WD.com is owed by the same company that makes procomps and if they are still being made, you should be able to get them from them :yup:
