Sam,

I was unable to find 17x9's with our lug pattern, only 17x8's. Maybe the stores I visited did not show the 9" If they do the 17x9's, I might re-think the width choice before I order.

i noticed you mentioned that you put spacers on,unfortunately in australia spacers are apparently illegal is it possible to mount the same size tire without them. Also is that particular tire noisy on the road, I have ordered a silver unlimited renegade ( i think you call them a sahara over there, unfortunately toyota has taken that title). any advice would be great as there arent any on the road yet no one has had any experience with them.

JOEY... Call up >>>
OffroadToyStore

They will know what your talking about.. I looked all over the web. and emailed everbody about rims and tires.. But it took phone calls to find out IF they had rims to fit, and IF they could get them etc. I think they had 9 in stock.. I got 5.. so.. there's was 4 left as of yesterday afternoon.. Still pricing tires...
Good luck.. Sam

Good luck.

I'm digging the wheels and tires. Lot's of complements where ever I go.

I'm getting a slight wiggle between 40 and 50 mph. If I'm over 50 or under 40 it's fine. I've already had the wheels rebalanced and I'm running 40psi. Any suggestions? Thoughts? Thanks.
