I know they come stock on some JKs. Yes I did a search, I just want to be thorough.

I am about to get some Crager soft 8 16x8 5in backspacing.
Is there ANY reason to avoid this wheel?

They will be wearing 35x12.50with on a 4 door rubi (3 inch lift).

 

that's why i went to the dc-1 black 16x8's...lower costing tires.

but wheel selection is limited with 5x5 bolts, not tire selection

 

I have the Cragar 16x8 D window w/ 5" of bs. They work great. My tires are not that big, but you should be fine with the rim.

 

depending on what size tire you put on the jeep you may need a spacer for that backspacing most lift suggust a min of 4.5"

 

It appears I am looking at the same wheels you have. Do you have any rubbing issues?

 

where are you getting your crager wheels from

 

Going with 16'' wheels is more attractive as there are more tire options and 16'' tires are cheaper than 17s.

 

16's here also. I didn't want 15's because of the clearance issue with the large brake calipers. I know 15's will clear them but not by much. There is a good selection of 16' tires.

 

Amen. Better for airing down and crawling too.
