Mag for 2012 JK in 16'
I'm usualy pretty good at googling anything on the net, but I'm strugling to find Mags in 16' size for my Wrangler.
I bought my Sport Wrangler with the EOM steel wheels, and would like to keep them to mount winter tires (cheaper in 16' a than 17' and higher).
When I got mine, it came with pretty good Firestone Destination MT that I like very much, they are 245/75R16. For this reason, I'm looking after 16' Mags to mount them, but struggling to find any, are the original ones 16x8.5 ? Any suggestion where to look ?
I don't want to spend too much on fancy ones, after all, it not a race car, it's a Jeep and off-roading with it, and no, I don't want any black.

Series 7069, 16x8 with 5 on 5 Bolt Pattern - Flat Black
this is what I have on my JK
Work at a dealership and can get them for you if you want.

I run 16 X 8's because finding anything to fit the stock Sahara 18's was brutal. Like your planning, I use the stockers (rims and tires, in my case) as winter wear as the Bridgestone AT's work well in the (little) snow we get. I don't know why you want 16 X 8.5 though. That's an "off" size as most manufactures stick to even widths (7",8", 9" etc). With the proper backspacing on the Ultra Drifters I purchased, I'm (was) running LT285/75 X 16 Wrangler DuraTracs with no lift and never touched a tire to metal.
I would suggest to check out the Tire Rack (www.tirerack.com) as they have a huge selection of rims and have an app to let you see them on your jeep. When (if) you find something you like, go check out a local "Rimmer" to see if they can get them for you (or buy from TireRack, I've purchased 3 sets from them with no problems).
Stock steelies on the Sport are only 7" wide I believe but don't quote me BUT they definitely are not 8.5

Thanks, found out that the EOM were 16 x 7.5, don't know about he offset and backspace.
I have found Ion Alloy wheels , Style 171 in 16 x 8 with 5 on 5 bolt pattern and 4.25 backspace that should do fine.
Ion Wheels - Style 171 Polished, Ion Rims in Canada.

Sweet wheel, I run an almost identical style from Ultra on my black GMC K1500 stepside. Check out their (Ultra's) line might be some savings going with them instead of Ion. What colour is your Jeep?
