I got 4 Grizzleys for $70 on craigslist. Alloy, pretty lightweight and like to think they counteracted the bigger tires I put on them!

specifically I'm looking at these. They seem to be the cheapest and closest to stock for what I'm looking to do. thoughts?

AR has been around forever. Not the best brand but you could do a whole lot worse. With 3.77" BS on a 7" wheel you should be ok, it would probably put the edge near flush with the stock fender flares.
Someone should be able to verify that just to be sure. IIRC, stock BS is somewhere around 5" (at least it's close to that on my Canyons), so your wheel should be about an inch further out than stock.

off topic but I love ur jeep... I saw some pictures awhile ago when you put on the lift

I think that's the best picture I have of my aluminum rims.

could you send me a link to your rims?
