Default Cheap 17's?

Does anyone know of cheap OEM 17's off of other vehicles that will fit an XJ? I think newer dodge cars( magnum, charger etc) have the same bolt pattern, but is anybody else running 17's?

I can find used tires for 17's all day long, 15's are impossible.

Wheels off the newer (97+) wranglers are 17s, but you need wheel adapters

you MUST be kidding about not being able to find 15" wheels...235/75R15s are by far one of the most widely used tires made.

Unless you're going to much bigger tires, or do absolutely no wheeling, this is a bad idea.

Random question, are you on mnsubaru? your SN looks familiar and i see you're from duluth.

Yes I'm on mnsubaru.

I have no issues finding 265/75/17's or 285/75/17s, I occasionally see 285/75/16s,but in the last 6months I have not seen one decent set of 33x12.5-15s,most tire places don't even stock them anymore around here.

flotation size tires usually need to be special ordered or ordered online.
