Default Anyone in MN with some factory wheels?

Hey, I am looking for some factory wheels, either steel or alloy. I bought my Jeep used with some american racing wheels with 31x10.5" tires. It seems the wheels are too far offset, which wouldn't be so bad, but the tires that came with it are obviously too large for a stock height XJ. I plan on lifting it, but, I am also sick of the fender flares coming off every time I hit a pothole. I will trade the wheels and tires if wanted. The tires have roughly 3k on them and are firestone wilderness AT's.

Also, what is the best bang-for buck lift for these machines? with 160k on mine, the rear leaf packs are more than saggy, and want to go at least 3 inches, mabye more.

hey cowboy, i got some alloys i wanna get rid of, i'll for sure trade you, they have the same tires but are 235/75/15, would you wanna trade? they even come with center caps, one thing they need is to have the beads reset. you could do the lift i'm planning which is called a "bastrd pack" just look it up. where you located?

hey I am in st.cloud. But, I actually just put some new 235's(goodyear wrangler sra) on it yesterday and sold the 31" to a guy who needed them for his F150. I decided to keep the wheels I have on it for the time being, as my XJ's main mission is going to be a family hauler for the next few years. I am all for the bastard pack though, and for coil springs, I have been paging thru a Moog Chassis book and I came up with a good coil spring for a 2" lift that isn't too stiff, but a shade higher rated than factory. I think 2-21/2" lift will look good with the 235's plus I shouldn't have to worry about runining my alignment too much. Thanks alot though, I may want those wheels anyway if you are willing to part with them.

They would look good polished for sure. I won't be able to get them for a little while, since I just spent 400 on tires, but when I can, I will check back with you. Thank you much

yes and no. I would like them, but, I have been doing nothing but fixing on this truck, I probably stuck 800+ into it in the past couple months, and I know there is more to do

I mean this jeep, I bought it form a acuaintence, and he screwed me. I am so pissed at him for that, but at least it is a xj, meaning it will trundle on even as the wheels are falling off
