Default Where do I buy this combo of wheels and tires online??

I'm looking to buy 35-12.5-17 Nitto Trail Grapplers with 17 inch Cragar Soft 8's. I think the local Customizing Shop that does all the work for the local Pro Athletes are priced too high. It looks like I can save around 600 bucks by getting these online but I haven't found a place online that will sell both of these and send them ready to install.

Does anyone have any suggestions for where I can go to get these?

Thanks for the help.

You will probably just have to buy them separate and go to a local tire store to have them mounted. Thats what I did with mine.

I got my set from 4wd today, and they did mounting and balancing for 60 bucks, and if you get them in the next couple of days, it is free shipping. I am not sure that they have the exact combo, but they do have a lot of nittos to chose form.

Not knockin 4wd.com... but just a comment... If you buy a wheel/tire package from them that is supposed to be mounted and balanced....Make sure to STRESS that too them. Mine was supposed to be mounted and balanced and they came separate. I know I could have raised the problem with them but I was so anxious to get them on, instead of going through all the trouble I just took them locally to get them mounted.
Like I said.. not knockin them as I would do business with them again but just make sure to specify you do want them mounted!!
My 2cents...

If you do buy them separately, Summit Racing ww w.summitracing.com has a large selection of Cragar soft 8's at a good price. Not endorsing them, don't work for 'em, just saying. I'm about 10 days from finally getting my wheels, tires, and suspension lift for my stock JK, and after doing a lot of homework I think I'm going with 33x12.5 R15 Hankook Dynapros from tire-easy.com, 15x8Cragar soft 8's from summitracing.com, and I guess the $379 3.25" suspension lift from rough country. Unless I just say screw it and do the $1900 all in one 35" Mickey Thomson on 17x9 plus lift from Rusty's Offroad. Ah, decisions....
