I found these on Craigslist. I could probably talk the guy down some, maybe $250 or so. He wont seperate from the wheels.

Any idea on the value of the wheels? They are off of a newer wrangler so obviously wont fit my cherokee, any idea on what else they would fit?

Dont know if its worth messing around with them or not.

Well just to give you a good idea on new price they run about $115 a tire. From what my research shows they are made by Dean which could be apart of goodyear not sure. As for a good deal yes if you want the riims as well but since the rims are a 5 on 5 bolt pattern they are worthless to you. If it was me I'd spend the extra and just get new tires with a warranty..

No they wont fit. I belive the XJ bolt pattern is 5x4.5. I would have to re-sell the rims on craigslist or something. Just trying to figure out their value if anything. If I could get some decent money out of them the tires would be a steal.

Anyone else run these tires? I think I've seen them around but have no experience with them.

They have been on CL for a while. I think I will leave an offer of $200 and see what he says.

Will 30's look okay with a 3" lift? Trying to stay as small as possble for fuel economy, but dont want it to look dumb....

I would offer him 150 the worst thing that wil happen is that he will say no and you could counter offer 200.

I don't think 30s would look bad at all on a 3" lift either. I'm runnin 235s on 3" and it really doesn't look all that bad at all.

Yea, I did a little more research and believe the basic JK wheels are 16". If these would fit that would be a great deal as I could sell my stockers and tires for $100 or so.

If they are in fact TJ wheels, would they have the same offset as my 1994 Sport steel wheels? Aside from the center cap they look about the same.

He said that they have about 5000 miles on them. His ad meant 90 something percent tread left, not 9 percent. Said he would take $250.
