I'm on a buget right now but you think these rims would be alright on 36's? http://www.4wheelparts.com/prodDetai...No=PCW98-5165F

Yeah they should be. Black steelies and XJ's always work out.

The 3.75" backspacing on those will also do well, however there are a couple things to keep in mind. They will be sticking out further than stock, plus with the big *** tire, you will not be road legal unless you have huge fenders to cover them up (in a lot of states, anyway). Secondly, the further the wheel puts the tire away from the axle, the more leverage the tire has on your ball joints. If you have a locker in the front, the possibility of pulling the ball joints apart is increased if you get in a really tight jam.

Seems kinda high for those wheels. Check out Summit, I have several sets of Cragars from them and they run about 40-50 bucks a piece. Before the full widths I ran 4" of backspacing with 35x12.50s and no rub.
