Default Tire and wheel packages online ?

Are there any recommended vendors online for tire and wheel packages for the JK. Been to a couple tire discounter stores and I'm not real impressed. It seems hard to find the 5x5 in stock in anything that would work well for a jeep. They tend to want to sell you what they have and like. Thanks for any tips.

I bought my tires and rims from TirePackage.com. The 5x5 pattern was hard to find but they had it in the wheels that I wanted.

The tires come mounted on the wheel and balanced for free also plus I got a $50. instant rebate. Shipping was $111.00 though.

I should have them later this week. I will let you know how it all turns out.

Good Luck Guys......

Did you lift your 4 door at all? If not, are you experiencing any rubbing with your 285/75X16s? I'm going back and forth between a 265/75X16 and 285/75X16. I'm holding off on lifting.

No Lift..... No rubbing with moderate offroading, I think you would want a budget boost if you were gonna do anything Extreme......
