245/60R18 (29.5") fit nicely

[JWFokker]

This is on the stock suspension. I used Spidertrax bolt pattern adapters to go from the original 5x4.5" to 5x5" for the 18" Wrangler Sahara wheels that I've had in my possession for about a year and a half. Doesn't look like anything is going to rub much, if at all. I like how the wider wheelbase and overall larger wheel/tire combo fill out the wheel wells. Running Cooper Discoverer CTS tires because I want the ride to be relatively smooth and quiet (for an XJ).

nice rust!

 

[JWFokker]

Yeah. That's NY for you. The rocker panels are going to get the chop in the not too distant future.

looking good;
it will look even better when you get your rockers fixed.

sell em and fix that rocker. get your priorities strait.







does look different though. and by different i dont mean bad. would be cool on an orvis (is that the right name?) xj.

I picked 'em up for $200 shipped almost two years ago. Why would I sell them now? I only put them on because I needed new tires anyway. And you should have seen the stock wheels. They looked like they'd been at the bottom of the ocean. Completely covered in rust barnacles. I might try to remove the rust and paint them for use as winter wheels though.

Fills out the wells nicely.
