WELL GUYS I HAVE DECIDED TO GO WITH THE ROUGH COUNTRY LIFT KIT WHICH INCLUDES REAR LEAFS. NOW THE ? IS WHAT WHEELS.
I LIKE THE LOOK OF THE 10 INCH WHEELS SO I WAS THINKING THE CRAGAR SOFT 8 15X10 WITH 3.75" BACK SPACING OR THE MICKEY THOMPSON CLASSIC LOCKS SAME SIZE WHAT YOU GUYS THINK? I KNOW THE SOFT 8 IS A HEAVY WHEELS . SO IM NOT TO SURE. THEY BOTH LOOK GREAT

 

Get the round ones. I think if you get into rocks and bent a rim you can beat the steel ones back into shape enough to get off the trail (maybe home) but the aluminum ones are gonna crack if you attempt to pound them with a BFH. So I would pick the one that matches your wheelin' areas.
As a side note 10s require more trimming than 8s do.

 

price is major issue cragars are steel and pretty cheap and the classic locks are alluminum and about 2.5 the times the price but they will last longer its all about your pocket book and what you want

 

just get the cragers. i dunno if your gonna be airing down any of a 15x8 will hold the bead better

 

I say 15"x7" for a 31", LOL, I run 33s on a 7" wheel. 10"s is WAAAAAY too much width for anything less than 14" wide, IMHO!! They will stick out a lot and be prone to trail failure if you wheel in the rocks at all!!

 

Please dont get the soft 8's,too many people have them. I say get the cragar v5's or 351 Series Street Lock ''D'' Wheel from cragar

 

Street lock wheels rust out in a few years stay away from them

 

Yeah what he said, i got some cragars sim beads in the fall and by the time the spring came around, the beaded rim was already starting to peal and rust. Maybe its because i live in minnesota and we have more salt on the streets in the winter than we do snow but still i wouldnt recommend those bad boys.

 

Go with the cragars you cant beat the price compared to aluminum. I got the V5's to be different.

 

Please anything but Black wheels, from about 50' they all look alike and the novelty has worn off long ago

 

Any pics with the V5s mounted? I'm thinking of getting those, but haven't seen them on an XJ.

 

Chrome rims looks good, but everybody has different tastes....

 

I will post some of mine when I get to my digital tomorrow. My avatar is them but you cant really tell. i have had alot of complimants on them though.

 

DC-1's dont get them!!! they look bad *** but are hard to take care of. Aske me how i know!!!!!!!

 

well i went to 4 wheel parts yesterday and saw the 15x10 soft 8"s and loved them. i went with a buddy of mine that has a commercial discount they quouted me $68 buck a piece i thnk thats a hell of a deal. u guys think 3.75" backspacing looks good with a 5.5 inch lift or should i go with the 4.00 back spacing?
