Moabs or MT Classics?
I'm looking to pick up some new wheels for my 2000 XJ and I'm having a hard time making a decision so I'm looking for opinions!
It's come down to running a set of JK Moabs 17s with 285/70/17 BFG ATs or...
MT Classics 15s with 33x10or12.50.
I'm leaning towards the Moabs and I've read that because of the backspacing they fit just like stock XJ wheels, correct? I know I'd need adapters to run them.
If anyone has opinions or thoughts, I'd love to hear them.

or ranger rims which fit alot like stock XJ rims they are 16x7 with 4.5" of backspacing. these have 285/75R16s on them
gotta grind the lip off of the center for them to fit over the hub.
tons of different versions as well if you want a different rim scroll to the bottom of this

I've got a line of a cheap set of 17" Moabs from a buddy so that's why I was looking there. I didn't know the 16s had 5x4.5 though, which is even better.
And as far as the ranger wheels, I'm just kinda stuck on a fat five spoke or classic bullet hole wheel.
