Thinking of a wheel change
« on: May 16, 2008, 09:27:47 PM »
If I dont sell my current wheel & tire combo, I will end up with JK Sahara/Rubi wheel and keep the 37x12.50x17's.  Opinions?

So these are also 17"? I like the wheels on the Jeep. You gonna paint them or leave the machine finish?

Yes, the JK Sahara Rubi/Saharas are 17's.  I will either do Sahara' which are painted silver or Rubi's, which are machined.

I dig it. I still hate that I got rid of my OEM canyon wheels. I liked them. I think this would look good on the ole girl. And again, no maintenence on those wheels either! Bonus for me! Same offset as what you have now?

Actually, the offset is 6.25, but by the time I add the billet spacer/adapter to get the new lug pattern, I would be where I need to be.

Right on! I just saw a listing on craigslist for a set of those wheels and tires. Good price on them too.

Aren't the JK 17's too narrow?

No.  Mike runs a 37x12.50 on his JK rims with success.
