Default XJ Upgraded Wheels and tires

So I ordered my 3" lift kit and that should be here this week! Hopefully Ill have time to throw it in this weekend. Anyways I already know ill be needing/wanting rims and tires. I want black rims in the 17-20' range with some beefy tires.

Any suggestions on who has good deals on nice wheels? Or which sizes I should go with?

I suggest 15" wheels. Lol. Tires in 17-20" wheels are pricey. Take a look.

I get a lot of crap for my 18" wheels on my XJ but I think it looks great. IMO 18" wheels are the largest wheel diameter to put on an XJ with only 3" of lift. I would recommend 265/60/18 AT tires and the JK 18" wheel. Since money is not an issue you'll have to get adapters from the XJ to JK wheel pattern. Check out pics in my build thread to see the wheel/tire combo.

Why multiple threads for the same question?


What made you decide on 20" rims?

Go to 4wheelparts.com look at some prices for what you want. I'm telling you though. **** isn't cheap. Probably looking at atleast $2k for some nice 17" wheels and tires. That's probably low. Lol if you got the cash to burn, golpher it.

Chill and keep it on topic.

No reason to talk crap on this family friendly forum just because of a personal choice.

Don't be so critical. You don't like it move to the next thread.

My point is the things I removed were not necessary.

If you want to pretend your on Pirate take it to the UG.

giving a guy grief because he can't remove a nut after many attempts to help is one thing. picking on a guy because of his rim choice is a little different.

:sigh: wish I checked this sooner, would have live to see people asinine responses.

OP What kind of terrain are you looking to wheel. Mud, rocks, malls. This helps to determine what you should get
