I am telling ya Brett those wheels gotta go.
Sorry, Brett. I have to agree. Those wheels are not worthy of the vehicle they're bolted to.

What should I get then, Black Rockcrawlers??? (just like everyone else?)
(ok, sometimes they look ok)
Post up some pics of the rims I oughta have (remember they gotta fit my 15" swampas). And to be honest, I was recently considering getting some black 15x10 8-luggers, but haven't looked for them yet, since it's fairly low on the priority list.
All hail the chrome spokers!!!

That's kind of where I'm at. Wheels are pretty low on the list. Bumper, top, cage, fancy wiring, PS hoses, brakes, other doodads, running, rear bumper & rack, exhaust, tunes, D60, etc. (more or less in that order)
I think my 38's have quite a few more trails left in them. When I do spring for new bling, I'm thinking 39" rubber on 17x10" black rims. Dunno what tires I want though cuz I really like the SX's...I was planning on getting some more 38" SX's in a 14.5 width, and maybe doing the 15x10's at that time.
When it's running, I have a feeling I'll be driving it alot...which means new tires sooner.

You're gonna play hell getting that thing safety inspected the way it is. You sure you want to go even wider?? Not that I mind. The wider you are, the less Rocky Mountain pin striping I get.
Hey, tell russ I'd be happy to get that old red junker out of his hair so you have more working room. Just trying to be helpfull......

I think whoever has the 45 single "SS 396" gets the red car...and that would be me.
I guess Ft. Union is kind of far away...from the jeep anyway. (I'm not in Vernal anymore)

!!!!! I might have a copy of that. I have a lot of Cyrkle stuff.
I think I'll have to dig through the records then, won't I? Keep my new car warm.

It's the B-side to "Camaro" by The Cyrkle, too.
I've got some Paul Revere around too, now that I'm thinking about it.
Hmmmmmmm

Not wider...I'd like to get rims with less offset to pull the tires back under the fenders. With a 60 in the future, and high-steer knuckles, I'd think a 17x10 rim could have more backspacing. Isn't that what MarcB has on his?
More bumper pics...Nice work Russ!

Why a 10" wide rim? Going to a 9" wide or 8" wide immediately gets you 2-4" narrower than the same offset rims in a 10" wide size.
Just a thought.
For reference, I was around 82" wide outside-outside with a full-width GM D60 and 17x9 steel rims and 12.50 tires. Those rims were probably around 5.5" backspacing--dunno exactly, I put them as far in as I could and still clear the brakes.
