Ok i have been researching tires and rims for a while now. Wilbur needs a new pair of shoes! Stock steelies aren't very "renegadish" I have decided that going with a 16" rim is ALOT cheaper to get a 33" tire on.

I found these American Eagle Alloys on ebay for like $450 16x8, 4" backspace


I love the looks of the BFG A/T KO's but they cost $50-$75 more per tire.

I think the best solution for price and size is the Terra Grapplers

295/75 R16

My question is will this combo fit on a Stock JK with no lift?

I personaly would not run it without a lift but i offroad too much and they would make contact with the body too much for me
they will fit. 265/75/16 fit alot better

Well i do plan on a 2.5 or less BB eventually, all i am concerned with right now is minimal flex and full steering

JK-KJ

That's the wheels I have on mine, and I've got 265/75R16's....and when fully flexed the rear ALMOST touches the inside of the wheelwell (within 1/2"). I'm not sure even a 285/75R16 would fit without rubbing on these wheels with no lift....265 seems to be the max for me.

James76

you dont have a lift correct? Those dont look that bad at all

James76

I guess another note would be that i could get a full size spare too You may have talked me into it

JK-KJ

That would be correct...no lift. They ride good, look good, and they're about as big as I can go without rubbing....so I'm happy. I got mine from the dealer when I bought my JK (tires, wheels, and sidesteps), it's all financed in with the vehicle so that's another plus.

Do you know how much those uniroyals were? I see there are alot more options for this size too. Not sure the Nitto's would do well with such a narrow width. Any imput guys?

JK-KJ

Dont' know for sure, but I've seen em for around $120 a tire....so for all 5 I'm guessing about $600 plus mounting and balancing probably. It was $2295 for the 5 wheels, 5 tires, and the sidesteps that I financed in the deal...last time I figured it, I figured that I paid about an extra $400-$500 for the convenience of financing.

American Eagle 186 wheels 16x8---- about $110 each plus shipping
Uniroyal Laredo AWT 265/75R16 tires---- about $120 each plus mounting/balancing
Sidesteps---- about $300

Total: approx. $1500-$1700 with shipping/mounting etc.

Funny today a truck comes in and it has 265 75 r16 toyo tires on it. I parked it next to the jeep for comparison and It looks great. Alot beefier than the stockers Guess i know what Wilbur is getting for Christmas
