My XJ has a 2" lift kit on it, Sport Edition, No ABS.

I've narrowed down my search to two wheels.

I don't want to go too crazy and would like to put a set of Duratracs on them. Budget is $400-500 max on wheels alone.

Few questions:

American Racing 172 Baja 15x10

With a 2" lift do you know what size tire I would be able to put on these so they don't rub? They are 10" thick which is pretty wide! Not sure if I'd be able to pull it off without bringing the Jeep higher. Figure i'd have to put at least 245s on these.

These are the second wheels i'm considering, they are only Wheel Size: 16x8 so I would be able to throw skinnier tires such as 225/235 on.

I would consider getting a higher lift kit, but then I have to create another thread on the topic looking for suggestions. With wheels/tires/lift kit i'd probably be willing to throw 2K into the Jeep. I've been searching but that only gets me so far. Mostly seen topics with already completed builds.

In the meantime any feedback on the above would be great. Thanks!

I'd find some Icons.

1 and 3 are ugly and 2 was cool in 95.

If you're willing to spend that much on wheels then you should be able to find what you're looking for.

16" rubber is going to cost more....

And checkout the Vendor Forum here.....

It's hard to envision wheels on the jeep, so it's a tough call just surfing the web.

I actually found some Icons, but they were off roaded so they are a little beat up, non-gunmetal versions.

I can't find aftermarket icons which is why i'm turning to the board of jeep-excellence to help me out

If you're willing to spend that much the Icons can be found on eBay.

Get some tj rubi take offs. They look good!

Yea I'm looking for some. They are easy to find. Just not always the right bolt pattern.

Problem is many of the rubis are 17s and putting tires on would make them too big. Need the 16s

my vote for number 2 or 3. Number 1 looks too ricer.

17" with the right bolt pattern... 99% of others that see them won't know the difference. They are almost cheaper than the Moabs you will find.

The backspacing worries me however.
