i am being offered a free lift kit and set of tires, i have to supply the wheels...

the tires: Pitbull Tires - Growler Series - 35x1450-17D

the lift kit is one of tuff country's 4" lift kits - not sure which one, trying to get clarification on that part!

anywho, what do you think and do you have any opinions on what tires I should be considering? (fit those 1450's)

i thought it says you get tires and just need rims?

If that is the case go with a 17x9 rim in whatever you find you like.

EDIT: oh i see now they are 14.50" probably gonna need atleast a 17x10

armycop

I would guess a 10-inch wide wheel or wider and maybe Spidertrax spacers. That is a massive tire. Is your Jeep a Daily Driver? Those Bias tires are not as pavement friendly as a radial! They will wear quickly they are soft tread! They are awesome off road!

fortunately, the jeep is not my daily driver - i do sometimes drive it to work.

so the 17x10's with a 5x5 pattern...any suggestions? i'm having difficulty finding some that fit that size...

BLKRuby

i imagine that will be tough size to find. Perhaps adapters are gonna be needed for you.

jsherman

recommended backspacing?

armycop

I am guessing 3.5 inches or less Backspacing for proper clearance. That tire is about 4 inches wider than stock. I have 5" backspacing with 11.5" wide tires.

i'm having a real hard time finding anything that has the 5x5 bolt pattern in a 17x10...
