Went with some Method Race Wheels, Mesh 17x9 4.5 backspacing wrapped with some Kumho Road Venture MTs(35x12.5x17).

I am very happy with the way the install went and the ride of the lift shock combo.

I cut it with a metal blade hack saw and drilled it with a step drill bit from Harbor Freight. Then I filed and sanded it. I attached it with screws and nuts behind the dash. I like how it turned out for the most part but don't like the screw heads sticking out. I tried countersinking them but they are too close to the outside edge. Maybe I'll buy some rounded head screws. I also had a hell of a time pushing the switches into the faceplate. If you look close you can see the plastic tabs sticking out a bit on the tops of the switches. Is there a trick to them not sticking out? <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=592084"/> <img src="https://www.jk-forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=592085"/>

What did you paint it with?

I personally like the white makes it feel more open and brighter than when my soft top is on.
