That is so badass! What kind of hooks are those? Look like Chevy pickup hooks.

Yep, off a full-size Chevy pickup. I did mine like this because although just cutting it down looks good too, it doesnt protect you headlights and grille.

The only problem is it looks sorta dumpy from the side doesn't it? On an older XJ I think it would be perfect...on our newer style I really feel like a wrap around is required. Got some side pics?

Not at the moment but I need to take some. Mine is an older body style, 96, but with a 97+ front header panel. Need to find some white 97+ front fenders still to complete the swap.

So this question has nothing at all to do with this thread about stock bumpers... to your question though; first, are they the same bolt pattern??? If so, im pretty sure that you can go larger in wheel... You cant go smaller usually because you run into issues clearing the brake assembly... This question should probably be asked in the ZJ GC section for better help...
