I have sold my wheels and tire so now it is time to get the new ones. I am going to go with a larger size and now I am thinking the 295 70 17 instead of the 285 to get a little more height. Also I would like to change out my fenders for the rustys offroad metal fenders to give a little more tire room and I prefer the look of them. But for now I am driving around on 215s.

Looks like your jeep skipped leg day with those wheels lol. The 295's should be great though!

I wonder what shipping to California would be for those Fender Flares, I like the pocket style flares. If you're interested in selling them send me a PM.

Changed my mind again. As it turns out 315 70 17s are cheaper then 295s 70 17s so I am now looking at those and I know they fit in the front because I have tested one out before. I may need a shackle relocater on the back but I will wait and see.

I have the Rough Country Shackle Relocaters, for ease of install and adjust-ability ill give them good marks. However, you gain way more lift than specified, they say 1-1.5 ish, I got almost 2 inches of lift with just the brackets.

sorry to ask so many questions, but was it the spray? How well has it held up so far?

it's fine, that's what these threads are for. It has held up well but I have no rubbed it anything as this jeep has seen about no offroad time. But that is changing soon hopefully and I will post any paint problems.

Looking good. I think you should keep black wheels. I think they look better on your paint scheme than those polished shiny ones
