the ad say's nothing about them being off a jeep. even tho they look like stock yj wheels, but those center caps are not jeep.
the ad says they are 5 on 5.5. yes, yj, xj, zj, mj, tj and kj are all 5 on 4.5, and jk, wj, wk, are all 5 on 5 bolt pattern.
but jeeps like the cj, dj, etc are all 5 on 5.5.
so these are most likely off a full sized ford like an f150 maybe. unless they are 5 on 4.5, then they could be off a ford ranger.
the ad also says they have about 9-% tread left. to me that reads 90 something percent.

so, it may be a typo, as a lot of people don't know the bolt pattern for yj's xj's, rubicons, etc. but by looking at the pics, they do look like 5 on 4.5

these tires would be an ok deal for someone who needs the size, and a bonus if the rims would fit, but not likely wanted anyways. so if you want to remove them to fit on your stock rims, then they would cost extra to remove them and mount and balance them to your existing rims. so that would make them not as good of a deal.

so consider that if you throw out an offer on these. find out from a shop how much they would charge before you put an offer on these, and use that in your offer.

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.

Those look like wheels off a 97 or newer Wrangler or Cherokee with the Sport package. I would buy them.

I confirmed that they are off a TJ. For some reason I thought the wheels off TJ's didnt fit XJ's or YJ's... Guess they do.

Called and spoke to the seller. Wheels came off an 06 TJ. and have no more than 6k on them. He pulled them off a year ago and have been sitting in storage. Upgraded to the Rubicon wheels/tires. No offroad use. Is firm at $250.

Called and spoke to Les Shwab. Tires sell for $139 ea and are a 40k tire, however they have been seen to last 60k. Made by Cooper. Saide $250 for the set was a steal.

I think I will pick these up....

They are a not so aggresive mud terrain. Wouldnt be my first choice if I was paying full price for tires.... But for $250 with wheels its kinda hard to beat.

Bought em. Paid $250, they are sipped too. Lifted the Jeep today with the Zone kit. Nice quality. Still need to torque the LCA's and reconnect the track bar. Will post some pics once the tires go tomorrow (put my stockers back on for measurments)
