For wheels, stockers are cheap (already have em), but if you want to replace them then Cragars are very reasonable. Look good, and at about $55 your not too worried about beating on them a bit. Tires are always gonna be pricey. You can fit 33's without a lift and no rubbing issues, and they look great so thats what Id go for. Personally Im very happy with my M/T MTZs, but others have been happy with others as well that might be a bit cheaper.

Good luck.

Well, use smaller ones w/o a lift, and bigger ones with a lift, and have them given to you as a present so as to not break the bank. Get aggressive ones if going offroad in mud, less aggressive if for sand, strong sidewalls/puncture resistance for rocks, and low rolling resistance if for street use/mpg. No one tire does everything well, its always a compromise, like cleats are good for soccer, and bad for basketball, etc.



The modified tech link is good to show the people buying these for you...its the one that says for every Newbie to read before posting.

cragar 8's are the chepest option for the rims. People run with 15 or 16 because the tires are cheaper than the 17". Price for tires really depends on what you plan to do. If you plan on trail riding and some rock then stick with All terrain tires with a decent tread like the pro comp xtreme or bfg all terrain. If you encounter allot of mud and water go with a less agressive mud terrain.

BFG MT
Pro Comp MT
Micky thompson
Firestone destination MT

They all will work.... warning from others is buy from ebay and you get the tire you get without the ability to respolve issues if you get a tire with a blem.

I heard the cooper mt's and buckshot maxxis mudders were reasonable.
