Crager rims

[terrycags]

Looking at a BS of 5 inches i think. Quadratec only have the 17x9's and the 17x8's. I think i will go with 16x8's if i can get them through 4x4 USA for a decent price. Waiting for a quote from them, i may have to go for the "Black Rock Series 997 Type 8 Steel Wheel in Matte Black". Hopefully i can get the Crager 16x8's. Will let everyone know the price for 5 rims as others may be interested in WA or anywhere in OZ. Thanks for the advice everyone. Check out this pic.

Hi all, I was looking through my web log tonight and found this link. Yes, that is my JK.

The wheels are 16x8 Cragar's with 5" backspacing and the tires are Toyo MT's 285/75/16's. The JK does not have a lift in the pic above. I did upgrade to a Teraflex 2.5" lift shortly after. Go with the 8" wide wheels. They will fit with 5" backspacing. I did not have any problems with the setup before the lift other than I wanted a bit more clearance for the rocks.

A couple more pics of the setup without the lift.




And another poser shot with the lift.





I have since upgraded to 315/75/16's on the same wheels. Much better

Hot stuff outlawjk. Sorry to revive a dead thread, but I'm wondering if you needed to upgrade your driveshafts when you installed the TF 2.5" lift?

And is yours an auto or manual?

You don't have to re-do the drive drive shafts on 2 1/2"of lift, but is advised at @ 3" and a must for 3" ++

It also depends on how much droop you get...
