Is anyone running the Classic II 16x10 wheels? I have seen many 16x8/9's on this site. If so, what lug pattern do you have and what size spacers are you running?

Oh and I did search and could not find any info on the 16x10's

I was looking into getting the 16 x 8 with a 4" backspace 5 on 5 bolt pattern.A friend of mine has a simular wheel and it looks good on his with no problems.

Is he running the 16x10? If so where did he get them and did he have to change the lug pattern?

I tried to call him but did not get a hold of him but I think they where 16 x 10 but I could be wrong.

I was looking at the MTII's but was pushed away listening to people say how much work they are to keep looking nice. (Just throwing it out there!)

As far as the 16x10 goes, why not 16x9??? it's not thaaaaaat big of a difference!

Well I was thinking of going with a 13.5 tire so I wanted a wider rim. I thought about the 16x9's. Just thought the 16x10 would be better. I'll probably end up going with the 9's being they don't make them in a 5x5 for the jk.

thanks for your replies.

... and the 16 x 9s are probably a little cheaper.

I had the MT Classic locks on my F250. Major pain to clean around all the bolts and the simulated locking ring held in mud and snow. Just went with 17x9 MT II's on my JK. Much happier....
