Moto,

Those look sweet! Great choice! Do you mind sharing what tires and size you have mounted there as well? Lift? Any chance you'd share price of wheels too? Asking a lot, but trying to make a decision on my jeep that is suppose to be here in the next week or so!

Thanks in advance

Those are the stock Rubi tires. I want to wait on the lift until the warranty is out. I will do a 2.5 to 3 inch lift when I do it. Also, the recent post about the Skyjacker problem makes me want to wait till there are more miles on some of the lifts. They tell me that will run 35's with no rubbing. I bought them and had them installed at Down East Off Road in Wilson NC. $890.00 for 5 wheels, installed balanced and rotated (just hit 5,000 miles). Down East tells me I can run 35's on those wheels.

Moto,

thanks for the quick response! Can I assume you had to use no back spacers or anything?
thanks again! It's been tough seeing wheels with the offset requirements we have for the JK's and the new bolt pattern.
