Another case of a great deal costing you more money than it's worth. How much lift do you have now?

You're jumping over dollars to pick up pennies. I saved a bunch of money buying these tires. Now I have to spend $200.00 for wheel adapters.

get yourself some cheap or used black steelies with 5 on 4.5 and 3.75 backspacing and mount those tires.

lift your jeep the cheap way. get some 3 inch coils and some 2 inch blocks with a set of 1 inch lift shackles.

remove your flares, trim your fenders and have some fun.

start saving up for a proper lift since you will be hooked now.

Lets not try lifting the cheap and dangerous way since OP is probably on old worn out springs. The fact that he just bought these tires is a joke. Cant use them right now and not sure why he's asking for advice.

Want advice. Pay to have the tires dismounted from those rims. Sell them to a JK owner on crAigslist. Use that money to buy a proper lift to replace your worn out parts and get some steelies. Pay to have tires mounted and balanced to new rims. Get an alignment. Done.

The wheels will do no good to a JK owner. They are 5x5 1/2". JK's are 5x5".
