I tried the search but must be phrasing it wrong. I am looking for the best place online to buy 15x8 soft 8's 4"bs or similar and 31x10.50-15 BFG A/T's. Any help would be great. I am looking locally. I have some time now, jeepinoutfitters.com just called and the leafs for my RE6030 kit are back ordered:(

I got my 33" MT/R's from Tirerack.com. They were CHEAP!! They ended up being 'blems' but what do I care.

Price carefully, shipping is a killer, if you have a BJ's Wholesale, Costco or Sams club you can pay for a 1 year membership, buy 5 tires and still come out ahead of online purchase + shipping.

Well I went around to the local shops and got hosed for prices. For 31x10.50-15 BFG A/T's and black rock crawlers or type rock crawlers the lowest price was $1046!!! I called NTWonline.com and they are $729 mounted, balanced, with lugs, and centers shipped to my door! I think that is the route I am going. Any input on the price?

Well, I bought 10 BFG AT/KO's at BJ's wholesale, 5 for the XJ and 5 for the TJ. Cost was $105 a tire, mounted balanced, roadhazard warranty, lifetime balance and rotation. Already used the road hazard from a big spike in the sidwall, they had me in an out in 30 min with a new tire.

OK, I called 4wheelparts.com and asked for a quote with everything, mounted balanced and shipped. Then I told the guy his price was high and he asked what price I got. He told me he would match it so I bought from him. I got the black 15x8 4.25 BS Rock crawlers with the round holes and 31x10.50-15 BFG A/T's with lugs centers and shipping for $729. Hopefully my lift kit isn't on back order much longer....

At the junk yard you can find rims pretty cheaply. The ones that deal in trucks/4x4 only or the ones that pull and stock the parts themselves usually have a good selection of wheels, inc. aftermarket ones, that aren't beat up or anything for around $25-50 a pop, depending on how fancy. Then like he said, if you have a big box membership...

at sams they wont mount tires bigger than stock on your vehicle nor will they give you road hazard
