If your buying new wheels for your XJ the correct BS for it is 3 3/4" to 4" using a 15x8" wheel then with a lift and a little trimming you can run up to a 35x12:50x15" tire. The tires you have purchased will fit this wheel fine.

Actually I am already running 17" moabs with adapters. I also already have a set of 5 32x10.5x15 tsl's. I'm looking for some steel wheels so I can add beadlocks later down the road. So I have the option to use a 5x5.5 with 5-6 "BS (bc of the adapters)or I can run a 5x4.5 with 4"BS. I thought they would b easy to find used but I'm wrong! I have been searching forever

(As long as there 15 inch)

You can buy them new for under $50 @ from Summit or Jegs with free shipping. Then you can but the correct wheel no adapters and correct bolt pattern.


I found my used beadlocks at a dirt track auction in the off season all 5 with BS I could use.

Honestly i wouldn't run a beadlock on adapters,The weld on diy beadlock kits are hard to get balanced.The extra weight of the beadlocks and bigger tires and off road i just see the adapters failing over time.And fred is right you can get steel d window rims super cheap online.
