My TJ's finally gettin its facelift this week, a 4" lift So onto my next stage - rims, tires n flares.
Anyone know of some sites where i can see wot a TJ would look like with different rims n tyres? Im pretty keen on the Mickey Thompson Classic or the twin tri spoke rims, probly in a 15x8 together with some 33x12.5's. Wot do u guys think? Which tyres would be suitable for a 50/50 on/off road? Which flares would i need to go with em?
classic 11 are nice .."but they are like assholes every one has them" It would be nice to see some more tj getting around with somthing new. But as rubber goes the radial claws would be a good start.
Sic TJ, what kind of driving do you do over there? Like Ian said, Radial claws are said to be good - i run 33x12.5 Goodyear MTr's and they are also a good allrounder.
The best way is to use photoshop - take a pick of yer jeep and then cut and paste pics of the wheels you like till you find what you want. keep in mind that black rims are the easiest to maintain because you can just re spray them after each trip when they get scratched up
Totally agree that it is a hard call, the funny thing is I have black rims, Ian has MT Classic II's. And Ian's are in alot better condition than mine yet I do alot of my driving with him?
My vote for tyres are Radial Claws, MTR's or Xterrains.
