18" Rims
 
Wondering if i have screwed myself here? I ordered the 18" wheels on my JK and was surfing looking for tires, having a problem finding tires that will fit... or am I looking in the worng places?

I ordered mine with 18's and wish I got the 17's. Eventually the 18's will come down in price, but if it is not to late I would go back and get 17's.:yup:

What are you looking for? My 35x12.50x18" Nittos were cheaper than 35x12.50x17's.

you guys have a link or two for me? I'm pretty loaded ( ;-) ) so cost isn't that much of an issue, I was more concerned on tire choices.

Such modesty.....

I have my own suppliers, but cost wholesale cost to me was cheaper on the 18's than the 17's

Just buy your three top choices and give your the others.:rotflmao1:

I found myself in the same dilemma; I got the 18 inch wheels and realized afterward the high cost of 18” tires. I found its cheaper buying new 16” or 17” wheels with the tires instead. The 18” Sahara Wheels (with tires) go for about $500 - $600 (for 4 or 5 wheels) on eBay by the way… so you can make some of your money back!

MY cost Nitto M.G.'s.......35x12.50x17---- $240
35x12.50x18---- $234

Nitto's just have weird pricing....33x12.50x18-- $247 (33's more than 35's?)
33x12.50x17-- $223
