moab wheel ?'s

KI4KWF · Feb 23, 2008

i might have an opportunity to score some moab wheels soon, and I need to know what is the best size tires to go on them.
i want the goodyear MT/Rs that come on them with rubi's, just because i think they look really good on these wheels, but i want them to look nice and bigger like an offroad tire should be.
i'm sitting at 20" front and rear, what's the best size?
wheel spacers maybe?
:idea:'s anyone?

Are you asking for questions about your post?
:sure:

I run 265/75 MTR's on mine, I'm still at 3.5in maybe closer to 4in. I haven't found the need for spacers yet.

I have 315/75/r16's, and need 1.25" spacers.

3" of lift most likely,center of wheel bearing to bottom of flare is 17" stock.

What are the backspacing on the Moab wheels?

Mosephus · Feb 25, 2008

I think 4.5

Caribou Lou · Feb 25, 2008

Hmmm. I wonder what the stock ZJ 5.9 16"s are....

KI4KWF · Feb 25, 2008

sorry i didnt clarify...
i was wondering what size mt/r's to run on these wheels with 3" of lift... which i have 20", and 17" is stock center of axle to the bottom of the fender.
i'm leaning toward the same size that came on them with the rubicons...maybe a size wider.
:roll:

For 3" of lift I'd stick with the stock size Rubi tires: 245/75R16, these are about 30.6" or so. I can't access photobucket to link from work, so here's a thread with some pics of stock '06 Rubicon wheels on my '01 with a BDS 4.5" lift. This lift netted 23" from hub center to flare in the front.

ya stick with stock prolly since your 20"
i was at 21 with my re3.5 kit and when flexed i rub the rear well in the back so you wouldnt want to go taller unless you bumpstop it but wider a little would be ok but not much.. and 265 75 will go wider and taller
