km2s last a long time if you have a good alignment. My buddy has 10k miles on his and they look new.

aww she'll be a right fine pavement princess x) i just put 2 inch spacers and cut about 2-3 inches out of the wheel wells.. she's looking purdy' fine as-of-late

..... id say skip the cosmetics... go for functionality. But like its been said beore with the "bullet hole" situation.. its your jeep and build it the way YOU want to! lol btw does that jeep have the chrysler 8.25? or the dana 35

General Grabber AT2s have a 6 year/60,000 mile warranty. They kind of model the BFG All Terrains.

My AT2's lasted me a long time. I would highly recommend them, they are a great CHEAP AT tire. Good sidewalls too

No they are 2 ply sidewall, 4 ply tread.

I ran them in the rocks of AZ and NM without incident.

Yeah that's what I thought cause I've been looking at these for awhile cause my current ATs are pretty shot and one has a sidewall chunk.

Hey man build is looking great! I dunno if you noticed but rusty's has wheel/tire/lift packages. If your looking for cepek tires and a rusty's lift look into this package. Its the 4.5" spring pack you want with cepek tires. It may save you some $$ to go this route. http://rustysoffroad.com/mm5/merchan..._Code=WHEELS10
