Default Steel sunnys on Jk

Does anyone run steel sunnies on their Jk? IM looking for viable options to downsize to 16inch rims and run 35's with proper backspacing.

One option is the expensive way and I spend $1100 on wheels alone.

Another is to run some sunnies if they have the right backspacing. Any tips?

Some of the cheaper procomps could be a better option. Series 97 I think are strong and relatively cheap but would not be as cheap as sun but better quality steel. Also be mindful of years as later models ran bigger breaks

Yeah I should have mentioned. I've got an 07 so it's the smaller size, so 16's fit.

I'll have a look Tj, cheers

You can fit 16" rims on all JK's, the offset required is quite large for later models, but fit fine.. Dynamic make a black steel wheel in 16" for this exact purpose..

What would that offset be warnabrother? Have to stick out a fair way to clear the calipers which I am sure will put undue and excessive wear on the bearings
