JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

yeah, toyo's are HUGE and the biggest 40's i've seen. sitting side by side with a 42" BFG, the two are about the same size. also, the 15.50 makes them one of the widest 40" tire i have seen as well.

regarding their similarity to spyderloc wheels, they are essentially the exact same wheel - just with a different ring. from what i understand, spyderloc originally had these wheels produced through wheelpros and have since lost the rights to the design.
WOL - Thanks!

I appreaciate the details. I am just off the phone with a local AR rep who dug into the manufacturing team and informed me they will be out for production in March and produced in the Orlando, Florida area.

Close to home...lol...and looks like that will be made in the USA, another plus!

Makes sense that if SL lost or their exclusive rights expired that these would be picked up by a larger manufacturer.

Again thanks and the RIGs look great!

We love the look of these and when i looked at the pics here and from the other rig, it looks like these are SpiderLock wheels....without the star pattern. We were going to order a set and have the star removed but if they are the same that would be great - no mod needed and perfect for what we are looking for.

I am just curious if anyone knew or WOL knew.
BS = back spacing. as far as when these wheels will be available, i'm trying to find out now and will let you know once i do.

thanks. tall jeeps look great but, after years of wheeling, we have learned to favor big tires with a lower and wider stance.

the back spacing on the 17x9.5's is 3.5" - this is what we are running and it's a perfect setup that offers much better clearance than our walker evans. the walker's are narrower wheels with about an inch more backspacing and with them, we were getting tire rub at a full turn/stuff.

Hey Mike - those ATX wheels would look pretty sweet on the build you're doing!

amazingly, so far so good. we know we'll break it someday but, it hasn't happend yet. but then, maybe it's because we know we'll break it that we end up wheeling more carefully
