My local tire and wheel place, have done a couple of trucks and now a 2d Jeep with them.
Actually paid $236 per when I pulled out the receipt - $1180 for the 5.

I'm jealous! The cheapest I can find is 329 per wheel. Many sites have them listed for over 350 per wheel though.

True but it’s easy to get with pressure washed
Yes but if you have to drive home from four wheeling and you got mud on the inside of the wheel you're going to have to crawl underneath there and dig it out what's your wi or it'll be a big weight on their going down the road.don't get me wrong I love the will it's beautiful but like I said if you're out willing to get mud caked ondon't g it's going to be a like a weight and it's not going to be balanced it's going to be off balance and it's a bad feeling I put slime one time in my daughter's car and it's set in one spot and driving down the road it was hitting hard when it turn going down the road it was so loud but thumping from it being off balance had to rush and get to the tire place to discount tire..my buddy that's a manager discount tire several of them have been managers for like 20 plus years and they see that all the time with that will discount tire a big seller of the black rhino wheels they sell more black rhino wheels then anyone. So they know about that will I didn't want to mess with that because I don't carry portable power washer when I go off roading inside my Jeep

Thought I would share mine

Those pics are amazing! I love it. Where did you shoot these? Please say Utah or Arizona- I'll be spending 5 months in SoCal with my Jeep beginning in October and look forward to a few road trips into those states

questions for anyone who can answer them:

what tire carrier/bumper are you folks running who have 37" tires? I want something simple and was looking at the mopar reinforcement kit with one of those brackets that moves the tire out an inch and up an inch. Would that combination work?

also i have a rubicon on order but did not get steel bumpers. Will i need to swap out the stock front bumper to fit a 37" tire if i also do a 2 inch lift?

thanks for any help!!!

I didn't get the steel bumpers either, knowing I would be wanting to put my personal touch on the Jeep. I have 37x13.5 coopers on a 3.5" Rocksport lift and only once in about 5 months and maybe 15 wheeling trips has it rubbed on the front bumper. I think it's the little extra width on the tires, but the passenger side tire was almost stuffed AND turned left [first two photos]. I would think you would be OK if you chose a 12.5 section width, but that's just a guess- we have a little different setup. The third photo will give you an idea of the clearance under normal conditions.

I have more of a rubbing issue with the rear tires, as do others, where the plastic inner fender flares bump forward in the back at the bottom [last photo]. So with only a 2.5" lift I think that will affect you more. You can cut them- it's minimal at 3.5" of lift. The noise doesn't bother me till I get a set of aluminum inners when I'm ready to order my flares.

What wheels are on your rig? That looks awesome!
Thank you so much! Hemmed on the idea a long time before pulling the trigger, not knowing if it would look good or not... they are Method beadlocks that I powder coated Rancher Red, with Super Chrome underneath for the metallic appearance.

Motobilt Carrier. Its a way better option then most in my opinion and way better than the Mopar offering for your money. It’s solid and built like a tank. Doesn’t rattle and keeps the tire tucked up to the body
