    Wheel combinations you want to look at:
    8" wide with 5-5.5" backspace
    8.5" wide with 5.5" backspace

    Deviations will depend on the level of trimming/rubbing/etc you think is acceptable for your intended driving/wheeling.

    Thats also what I was looking for and 285 X 60 's.

    But with 18" I was limited to my selection on wheels and tires. Every time I found a wheel I liked with that spec it was discontinued. Happened 3 times. So ended up with my 4th choice and 65's.

    The back space and tire ratio I ended up, I knew both where pushing the limits.... Oh Well ... My Luck... but it has worked better than I was expecting.


    Oh also, just FYI for anyone looking at any wheel tire combos... here is a Link to a cool wheel-tire calculator. You can put in your stock spec's and then see what happens with other combos. http://www.rimsntires.com/specs.jsp

    You can say that again... I mean im not really in the market now, just trying to figure out about how much I may be spending down the road. Spacers are alright, but now with a little one riding around I would rather them off. Dont get me wrong, my spacers have treated me well...except for 2 years ago when my wheel came off my jeep...

    Just would rather get rid of that fear all together

    Being that you have a WK you have a bit more leniency than us XK guys.... but the envelope is still pretty close.

    I am getting some Black rock steelies or Yuma's this week, but they are both a 0 offset rim. The Savegre's are a +10 which is as far as I would go if you don't have a SL. I ran them when at 2" on 265/70's and they were a good fit.

    I love the look of the Yuma's and the price - Black Rock is a great deal for wheels. If you get either, let us know how they fit. My main concern is the Caliper/Caliper Bracket. I have the pinch weld mod done so Im not too worried about the tire rub.

    How much do those Black Rock steelies weigh? Can't find that online. I would love to get steel wheels when I get bigger tires, but I am concerned about how much the extra weight can affect mileage negatively.
