    Hmm sounds nothing like my flowmaster. From the sound I was guessing you had the v6

    It sounds a little more like a v8 in person, the video doesnt make it sound very good :/

    Also luckily its not the 6cyl, coming from a sports car to the 4.7 was bad enough. Chrysler and their torque management makes me want to punt baby seals at times....

    So the Commander took the back burner for a bit due to some budget cutbacks....however im going hit up Harbor Freight this week and start to work on a light bar. With any luck im hoping to have it all complete for around $100.

    Id also like to get some recovery shackles since i lack them on the front or rear currently.

    Also if funds permit, hoping to pick these up after Christmas. Thoughts?

    I have the Black Rock 997 steel wheels with the same specs and needed 1/4 inch spacers up front to clear the front caliper brackets. Those might need the spacers too.

    Ill check with him, with a 0mm offset and 4.5'' backspacing it shouldnt. I know theres at least 1 WK on Jeepforum running them without spacers....

    Haha yes I'm Adam. My Black Rock wheels are also 17x8 with 0mm offset / 4.5 inches of back spacing and they wouldn't clear. But I would definitely try one out first because I've noticed that the steel wheels are the ones with clearance issues. So you might be fine

    Yeah these are alloy so hopefully theyll clear without an issue.

    Looking at the picture, it seems where the wheel mounts to the rotor/wheel bearing assembly is deeper then my black rocks. If you look the lug nuts go farther into the wheel. That would make a huge difference making 1/4 inch wheel spacers not needed
