This is the hottest JK I have ever seen.

What did you have to do to get these to fit(spacers, what backspacing?)? What size are they?

SuperLift 4" Kit

BFG 37" Krawlers

Cragar Soft 8 17x8, 4.5" BS. No spacers. Got them here: Wheels Center Caps Locking Lug Nuts

The front edge on the rear wheelwell needs the corner trimmed off. I'd guess that this will probably be the case with anysetup and 35" or greater tires. If you waned to keep factory rocker guards, those would need to be trimmed too.

The tires rub the front control arm just a bit at full lock. On a tire with less aggressive side lugs, that might not happen...or a a wheel bit less back spacing (like 4"). You could also adjust the steering stops a bit. It doesnt bother me....

There are a bunch of pics in this thread, scroll down through it:

Personally I LOVE the look of these Eagle Alloy wheels. Too bad they don't have this finish in 5x5.
