Default Where to buy rims and tires??

I've decided to upgrade my stock rims to something new. I want to keep a stock ride height so I'm looking for a 30x9.5x15 tire. I want the rim and tire to look like the one below. But without the red ring my jeep is green. Where is the best place to buy rims and tires? I am located in the GTA in Ontario.

I don't want to spend too much money so where can I find a deal on a setup like this? Thanks!!

www.national4wd.com has a place in Burlington, Ont. Toll Free: 1.800.575.7500 (905.634.0001) They sell offrset rims for about $60. on sale, also have a good selection of tires for the offroader. Call them and ask questions I am sure if they don't have exactly what your looking for they will steer you in the right direction. I deal with there Chateauguay store and have NO complaints from there.

Go check the wreckers in your area, they always have something kicking around for cheap. Some used tire shops also carry wheels or check Kijiji, newspapers, etc. in your area. Bring along a good tape measure with you when you go check them out. Lots of sites to show how to measure a bolt pattern properly. Clean 'em up and paint them whatever colour you want, or better yet, spend a few bucks and get them powder coated, its way more durable. Just make sure they're from a Jeep. Ford Explorer rims "will not" work on the rear of a Jeep, the center hole (bore) is too small so they won't fit flush on the drum. They will work on the front only!!!! You can put them on and tighten the crap out of them, but I wouldn't recommend it. Anything that was on a '88 - '01 Cherokee or '87 - '02 Wrangler will fit. They are all 5 on 4.5", medium (15-25mm) offset, center bore is 71.50mm with a 1/2" x 20 stud size. Watch the '96 Wranglers though, they allow 10-25mm offset. You can go with either 15" or 16", both will work. Happy hunting!

Those look like Cragar 342's. Just paint the red ring black if you don't like it. And try tirerack.com.
