Default Military Rims and Tires

Anyone put nondirectional tires and rims on your JK Wrangler? I have standard tires but would like a set of military style to put on time to time and for off-roading in dirt. I like the look but don't know how to find them??

Default just find a comparable set of wheels

and paint them drab green . less aggravation , and better performance over all
your brakes prob wont over heat as well

Check out Black Rhino wheels, specifically their Armory design. Definitely military looking. I just got mine in the other day. Haven't gotten them mounted on my Jeep yet though.

Best of luck. Those are 17" steel wheels shod with custom made NDTs (non-directional tires) radials done up special for Jeep for Moab and for the 75th anniversary. No one makes a commercially available 17" NDT radial. Those old school tires you're thinking of were bias-ply tires, mounted on split rims and came in 17" and 20 wheel sizes.

Also be aware of bolt pattern. The Military Jeep J8 wheels as pictured are 5.5x5 bolt pattern the same as the RAM pickup.

I see where Firestone makes the nondirectional tires it's more a matter of finding the rims.
