OK - these aren't *GREAT* but they're servicable in a pinch... what do you think?

Thanks! I left the center caps off my wheels because I actually like the "blue ring" that the spacers provide... Just got a tattoo of a blue-ring octopus, so figured my Jeep should match.

MJS, I'm curious why you went with spacers.
I just took mine off and replaced the stock tires and wheels w/
285/70/R17 Cooper ST's and Cragar soft 8 17s.

Before anyone says it, I'll be posting pics tomorrow.

A couple reasons, actually. First, I have 15" wheels, and didn't want to have to deal with clearance issues, which the spacers take care of. Second, I have aftermarket (wider) fender flares, and wanted to push the wheels out to the edges of the flares for a more complete look - I'm still street legal (or so I think), but it looks way better now without the fenders overhanging by 2 inches. Third, and this was really just a serendipitous discovery, I really like the way the spacers look through the wheel opening.

They just laid off a bunch of people at my company and more layoffs are coming, might have to put upgrades for the jeep on hold with this economy.
