37" stickies only come in 17's. You can't get stickies for 15" rims. I want stickies so I'll have to buy 17 inch rims....

What type of bolts are used for the factory calipers on an 88 xj?

I just did rotors and pads and one side had 2 10mm bolts the other side had allen wrench type.

I didnt like working with the allen wrenches. Too easy to strip. (previous owner started to round them out).

The Allen wrench are all I saw on both my 88 and 90, but if you could find some 10mm I'd go for those for the exact reason you stated.

Why when I hit 55 and only when I get on the brakes does my steering wheel wobble a bit? Brakes starts it..stops once I get around 45ish. Warped rotor?

Warped rotor or control arm bushings.

Mine did that too and I swapped out the CA bushings and it stopped.

Stupid question: just got new rims and I'm going to get my claws mounted up tonight. The rims don't have valve stems. I assume I can get them at any parts store? I'm mounting them at a friends house not a tire shop..

Can anyone recommend an inline filter for the cowl intake setup?
