33-10.50 KM2's would be my choice I think. Would the BS on the TJ wheels make the front tires rub the leafs at full lock?
You are right about a wheel making a big difference in how a ride looks. There is a mid 70's Ford LTD station waggon for sale near here. It has a set of 5 spoke Crager looking wheels and it makes it look real cool. With a set of stock wheels it would be lame.
Do you think any of the yards would have a set of wheels?
Keep looking on the boards. It took me over a year to find my wheels. They came with a set of swampers. I sold the swampers and the wheels only cost me $50 for the set of 5. I'll keep an eye out.
The turn stops might need to be adjusted but since the tires are 2" narrower you have that to play with. There aren't that many vehicles with usable steel wheels. The Crown Vic P71's, Mustang, Ranger, Explorer, Chrysler 300, etc... The problem with many are that they have a lot of negative offset. Also most are only 7" wide as well. Although that's not a problem for skinny's. I saw a set of 5-spoke YJ/TJ wheels on CL for $150 for a set of 5. I should have jumped on it. I set the Moab 16" wheels for $250 go as well. I might get lucky and fond some KJ steel wheels though. I would think they might be the easier to find since there have been a lot of KJ's on the roads but I haven't seen many wheels offered. I've also seen some older 6-spoke wheels from YJ's offered as well as the 9-Slot 15x6's. I already have a set of 15x6's and although they can accept the 33x10.5's I'd like to go wider so teh sidewalls aren't pinched as much.
I think sticking with 15's would be the easiest. Also gives me .5" more width then thee 255.
I'm trying to find wheels for less then $30 each. I can get Black Rock Wheels for $56-64 each (15" 4.5" - 4.75" BS 16"4"-4.5". Those are some of the cheapest that are still made in the US. Crager was bought out my Unique so they aren't the same company anymore. ARE 767's are nice but not for $75.
Oh, I've also noticed it's harder to find YJ's on skinny tires. I guess it's because not too many people with YJ's want skinny tires. Seems to be very common on XJ's and fairly common on TJ's.
And they patter is used on Dodge Chargers, Magnums and Caravans's as well. Would be nice to get a list of vehicles and BS/Offsets going. Minor problems that could come up is the center bore ID which could be drum sanded.
Found some Chrysler 300 but it's all 17-20". I'm not 100% sure if the spare is 16" or 17".
