Looking for some simple inexpensive wheels with some decent backspacing for wider tires. Any ideas where to look online? There are no true junkyards around where I live so that's out of the picture. I tried tirerack.com lol but all their stuff was way too expensive and looked plain silly.


Thanks for any assistance.

 

Depends what you want, the internet has it all! I have a stock set of 15x7 aluminun wheels...... but i am in ont, canada! There was a guy on ebay I bought mine from him.... Steve's custom wheels or something like that, Good memory just real short lol

 

I got my factory 16" Ford Ranger Edge wheels locally on Craigslist for $120 for all 4 with center caps and lugs:



16X6.5's I believe I know backspacing is 4.5".

 

Hmm looking for plain out inexpensive 15 by 8 or 8.5 Nothing too serious just something I can squease 10.5 tires on for beach driving.

I guess my first question SHOULD be. What is typically stock size for 1987 jeep cherokee. Right now the tires say 295/75/15 Maybe I already have larger rims than stock?

 

Stock is 215/75/15, or 225/75/15. I have 235/75/15 on mine which is 2 sizes over stock.

 

Goto Jeg's. You can get Cragar Soft 8 15X8 blems for like $30 a piece or I think its $39 for straight out new ones. I priced a set of 15X8's with center caps and shipping I think it was like $210 shipped to my door

 

Thats funny. Tirerack.com has "stock" tires for my jeep at 205/75/15 Im not sure I believe their information lol.

Thanks for the info though, that helps out a lot Maybe mine say 235 It's been a while since I looked 0.o

again, thanks for the info

 

Stock rim size was 15x7 or 16x7 depending on year and trim level.

I'd just bite the bullet and go with a set of Cragars. Cheap, look great, and last a long time.

 

Yeah I am on Jegs now. Basic rims white for about 54$ each, and that is 15x10

 

Thanks! I actually like the look of those! I might have to buy them 2 at a time but I like them!

Of course finding tires to shove on them is the expensive part HAH!

 

31X10.50's:

http://www.4x4groupbuy.com/store/fed...15-p-9901.html $120 A Pieice

You could probaly find some A/T's even cheaper those are Mud Tires. Or you could always go with TreadWright

They have gone up since I bought them 2 years ago(what hasn't) but I they are a great rim.

Tons of backspacing to give your Jeep the look and stance it needs to perform on the beach. I air down to 15 lbs with these and my 31 10.5 for miles with out 4x4.
