Thought about the rubber flare extensions, grabbed the ones off the CJ and lined them up........ What a terrible sight lol, functional.. Yes nasty hehe

Found another Option, Bestop make Flares now for half the price

Personally i think 15-16 inch max (if you have to clear brakes) look better on tyres up to 35 inch..

17s make the tyre look to small unless they are on at least 35s...

go some black steelies, will look tuff on your Jk..

17inch is by far the best size wheel to use if you are using 35inch or above tyres

I am looking for some 16x8 Steel wheels.

From what I can see the procomps hang out by 1"... What are others runing in 16x8? The kings look like an option, anyone got any pics.
Thanks

im running procomp series 51, which are 16x8 with 4.25" backspacing.
the road contacting part of the tyre tread is just barely past the guards.
(pics are here: http://www.ausjeepoffroad.com/forum/...9&postcount=57)
