While I like them well enough overall, lace wheels look MUCH less dorky with bigger tires. Something about the change in proportions makes them much more appealing than when they have 28-30" tires on them. I also like them better when they are two-tone/polished rim.

Also, here's my list. I prefer it to any other list of XJ wheels I've seen.

Think I will need a spacer for 32x10.5?

Doubt it but it really depends on the tire. Some with larger side lugs will rub the front arms on full turns.
