Default 16" wheel recommondations for Spare 33" tire.

I've got a brand new Dick Cepek FCII 305/70r16 that I plan to use the the spare on the girls Jeep. dimentions are almost exact to the 33x12.5x15s she just got that I'd be crazy not to use it.


My question is: What 16" Jeep wheels are out there that could make a good spare for the 99. Even if it means anything else that's the same pattern as the XJ.. (5x4.5). doesn't NEED to a Jeep wheel. Opinions???

Cragar makes cheap steel rims like the soft 8 and window in 16s.Or hit the junkyards and find another xj rim like the ones you got.

Jegs also makes there own brand steel wheel in a 16" that looks like a Soft Eight, just bought a set for my grandsons 1/2 ton 4x4 Chevy PU. They are even cheaper than Cragar wheels.

Guess I just need to hit the JY and start seeing what's out there.
I don't intend for this to get much use, but better to have one than not. (even if it's a 16 VS her current 15's)

This is the best deal I think I'm gonna jump on.
