PS: Hub diameter is 71.5mm. Don't waste your time on the plastic ones...

Fredrock-thank you so much for the insight. One tire had it on correctly and I couldn't get the size. One wouldn't fit the bore of the wheel, I'm thinking maybe it was because it was loose between the wheel and the hub and some damage occurred. The one that wouldn't fit was 87.1-78.1. Unless that's the wrong size all together.
Here is a pic off of Fuels website. Am I reading it right? I would need an 87.1? And then a 87.1-71.5 part?

I realize that this will not be a very popular thing to say in a subforum for modified jeeps... but if you are concerned and want stock reliability that has been tested to be safe... go back to stock wheels. I doubt aftermarket companies need to subject their products to the same tests and standards as the OEM's.
If you can accept the "risk" of your aftermarket wheels, then run them! It sounds like you don't have much to worry about, but if you will feel safer with stock specs you don't have many options. Have you contacted your vendor or Fuel to see what they have to say? How about a local tire and wheel shop? They could probably test fit rings to make sure that you are good to go.
