Hey 00XJsport, Do you know how I could get all mt plastic trimming black? And it look good? Im talking that gray plastic pieces all around the jeep.
yea you could scuff the surface of the plastic up a little so the paint will stick...but make sure you get paint made for PLASTIC!!!

so if i went with the 15 by 8's i'd have 4 inches sticking out the sides?
and 235/75/15 tires would still work?
and yeah the 235/75/15 will work on the 15x8 wheels...and 4" of backspacing is the most popular...(mine is 3.75)...look at mine for an example...

AND I WOULD RECOMMEND 30's NOT 235's...espessialy if u want to lift it in the future...

is there something special you have to do for backspacing?
and i most likely won't lift it... i'll prolly get rid of it in a year and move on to something better. so 235's will do. aren't they about 28" ?
