Default Where to buy wheels/tires

So I have this dream to raise my 2010 unlimited up 2" and put on some 35's with 17 inch wheels. (Think that's correct)
I am totally clueless in everything about this - still a wheeling noob....Where is the best place to buy wheels and tires? Rimco? Discount Tire?

Thank you

Chris.

If you are having a shop do your lift, you could always purchase your wheels and tires from different vendors and have the shop mount and balance for you. But if you want the wheels/tires ready to throw on your jeep, I've had great sucess with TireRack.

I would do ebay. If you know your size wheel and tire, I always fine a better deal on there and have always been happy.

I did my lift at home and had my rims/tires shipped to my house so I could put them on right away. Bought them from Rimzone, found them on ebay but just called them up to order. Tires came mounted/balanced and a good price I thought for what I bought.

got my AEV pintlers at the market price (noone has them any cheaper than another that I know of) after much research....and got my 37" Toyos off of treadepot.com; great service -- didn't get free shipping but made it up with the price difference because they were so low....I'd use them again for sure.

Read the directions and do a TeraFlex 2.5" lift yourself. and then go to Discount Tire. They have great service and prices.

I got my wheels from 4wd.com and my tires from NTB. If you are patient, you can find deals at different vendors to get the combo you want at the best possible price. Also keep in mind that many of these places will price match if you find part or all of the components cheaper somewhere else.
