My rig is getting a 2.5" Teraflex coil lift and supporting mods installed next week. I will be running the stock wheels/tires for now, but will eventually upgrade both in a few months.. I've done some research and have decided to go with procomp 8179 alloy wheels and 315 Duratracs.. I feel they will look good on my black 2dr X. However, I am debating on which size wheel to get. I either will go with the 16 x 8's with 4" backspacing or the 17 x 9's with 4.75" backspacing. I also have Bushwacker pocket style flares and am trying to determine which size rim would look best with these flares, because as of now the flares look huge. Any suggestions???

 

17's, I just think they look better.

 

Tires will be cheaper in 16".

 

i have a set of 5 16 x 8. willing to sell went back to stock rims. the jeep rides better with the stock rims.

 

The tires will stick out almost the same amount(1/4" difference) so I'd go with 16s for the simple fact that tires are cheaper.

 

I went w/ 16x8 4" BS 7069's with my 315's (not Dura's). I think they look perfect.

 

You can get alot of large tires for 15s and 16s.

 

I personally like my 15s, but to each their own.

 

This is my daily drive so I will probably never go bigger than 35s. I think I'll go with the 16s

 

16x8 for me, looks perfect and can't beat the tire price
