Good question... Well, if I am not mistaken the stock P245/75R17 tires are 10" or 10.5" not sure . So given that and also that I must keep the tire under the fender wells to stay legal. I would say no more than 11" to 11.5" wide. However, I have not really made any tire choices yet. So for me, taller but not much wider than stock would be the answer.

Anyone have these on a black 2-dr. yet? I saw the pic of the 4-dr. in this thread, and it looks great, but I'd like to see a black 2-dr. with these wheels.

I just wish they where a flat black instead of semi gloss! Seems like I would have to keep the tires clean all the time!

It going to be a tough call between the black Pintlers and the Rugged Ridge black rims. I want hub centric rims.

Trust me, it's not semi-gloss. It's like a matte black, not flat. I don't know any wheel that would be flat. If it were flat, it would always look spotty, like with water spots.

Consider this scale:

FLAT | MATTE | GLOSS

They're in the middle. I don't think you would be disappointed!

Are any of you guys running black or colored lug nuts? Whats the tolerance between nut and wheel. Looks like alot of people are using the factory lug nuts still from what i have seen..
