6 and 6.5x16 aren't going to cut it on a JK.

You'll need something like and 8 or 9x16. Google for that size and see what you get. Also, those'll be a 12 ply tire and tube type bias-ply tires, not tubeless.

Good luck........

No problem! Not my rig(s) but I thought they looked pretty good. Just another option for you to consider.

Those Black Rhino's look pretty good. I've been wondering how they would look like on a Jeep.

Here are a couple more from front view where you can see how far they stick out. Also, I fixed the end of the bumper today by cutting off the stock ends and doing a little trimming and a couple push pins. I absolutely love the look of this Jeep now. Next are flat fenders and then saving up for a lift and new axles.

Quite the beast!! Good work!! Word out is the average jeep owner spends $4000 on accessories. Half that is rims and tires! And that not including the time we spend!! Not much better than driving a Jeep!!

Just wait if you ever decide to move up to beadlocks and 37's or higher.....that's $4k easy.
