MB 72 Wheels from Discount Tire
Looking into getting these with 295/75/16 Hankook Dynapro MT for my JK Unlimited X:
http://www.discounttiredirect.com/di...1&wd=16&rw=8.5
They are 16x8.5 with -6mm offset. I threw this in a calculator and came up with 4.5" backspacing, so I think these will be fine for the JEEP, but is there anything wrong with this width and offset? Is my calculation of backspacing good? How would this compare to 16x8 ProComp 8179s with 4.25 backspace? These are the others I am considering. Not much difference I assume?
I can get 5 of these wheels with tires for $1500 shipped. And discount has the 6 or 12 month same as cash deal as well... not bad. Thoughts? Anyone have pics of these? Might be helpful b/c I'm torn between polished (these) and black ProComps...

Have you considered these? Look very similar and are a bit cheaper.

I have the same tires you are looking at, but I went with the XD Enduro's. I bought all five from Discount tire for $1412.29. This was the out the door price including tax.

Interesting... I may need to call discount tire - I do not see them online, but have always liked them.
What is the exact size, backspacing? Any more pictures?! I'm sure it looks great...

I know for a fact that Discount Tire can get you ProComp wheels at a very good price. Just call them. I have been talking up Discout Tire to everyone. I got mine at the store with great service and replacement tire coverage. They don't prorate the wear either they just put a new tire on if it can not be repaired. For a superstore tire shop they have great service in my town. Temple , TX

Wow, great to know I can get all these wheels at DTD that are not on the website... I thought their selection was slim, but thats awesome.
I guess if I don't go with the Enduros, I'll just stick with the 16x8 8179s...
Sweet!!

Anyone seen pics of the Polished Enduros? Can't seem to find any on here...
I really wish they made them black center/polished lip like the 8179s... maybe buy the polished enduros and have the centers powdercoated... that would be nice.
