Need Some Help
 

Hey Guys,

I just got my 2008 4 Dr Wrangler about a month ago, and I am now looking to get some Goodyear MTR tires, BUT my biggest problem is trying to find a plain steel rim for them, and I also need to know if I run a 15" rim, with a 33" tire, and put a 4" lift kit, will I need wheel spacers or will I have enough room when turning?

If anyone knows where I can buy a rim and tire combo that would fit my jeep please let me know.

Thanks for any help anyone can give me

Neil :confused:

Hey Niel,
There are a couple of different options for rims, first you can get regular steel "winter" rims or Cragar Soft 8's are popular for off-roading. If your looking for a black rim. Did your Jeep come with 16's or 17's? For 33's on 16's, 285/75-16 is a good choice and will fit with no problems on a JK with a 4" lift. Should'nt have any rubbing issues. Check your stock rim backspacing, I think it's around 6- 6.5". If it is get a rim with about 4-4.5" of backspacing and that will move the tire away from your shocks and coils.
You can get rim/ tire combo's at Tirecraft, Kal Tire, OK Tire, online from tirerack.com or even the dreaded Canadian Tire.

Hey Neil, did you get my pm? Wasn't sure if it went through, having problems with the computer at work.

I bought my rims from summit racing. $39 each for my xj and since I live in winnipeg I took the free shipping and had them sent to a place just across the border. Went and picked them up and paid the gst at the border and done. For me it was 15 x 8 on 5 by 4 1/2 bolt with 3.75 backspace.
