Anyone running these on stock tires? I'm lookin at the cragar V5. Haven't seen many with the V5 so I figure why not. Regardless of tire size, lets see it! Need some ideas!

They're not the V-5's, but still black steel wheels. Mine are 15x8 with 3.75" backspacing.

Here's one you don't see often. It's technically not a soft 8 since it has 9 holes. It's an Eaton Beadlock, real one not one of the bolt on colored rings. Not exactly a stock size tire either but I like the wheels and thought I'd share.

These weigh half as much as steel and fit the hubs (hub-centric). Unlike aftermarket wheels that only fit to the lugs (lug-centric)
Did away with the heavy flotation truck tires too and got ones that are load rated for the jeep. Gas mileage went up. Braking was better and she was faster off the line.

Those are canyon wheels, some of the wrangler sports came with them, the have a bit more offset than other jeep wheels too.
There are also some super similar ones off a wrangler that are named Ravines

They are 'Ravine' wheels off a LJ
5 for $200
15 x 8
They do have more backspacing and will fit as is, but I run 1" spacers that are hub-centric with the wheel and the axle.
