Default which used wheels and tires should I run on my XJ?

well I have a chance to get a set of 5 of these wheels 50% or more tread

Pro Comp Series 1079 15 x 8 (3.75" back spacing) (the spare is the same wheel but 10" wide with a slight gash in the tire, still holds air and does not bubble)

and a set of 5 old school Wrangler MTR 32x11.50x15

he is also offering me a set of ZJ adjustable upper and lower control arms and some ZJ 5.5" front lift springs (maybe the rears as well?)


in trade for this

or these babies



this (set of 5 mis matching spare) for $300

Nice rig for sale there, wish I could offer advice on tires, but glad to see another computer enthusiast with xj interests as well, I would say go for those wheels with the 32's. The tires with rims seem comparable to what you spent to build that gaming rig.

I guess its just personal preference on which ones you get. My only advice would be that if you get the first set I would try to swap the spare wheel for a 8". Makes it a hole lot easier to store.

i wouldn't do it.

those tires are worth maybe 400 tops, with rims. 32's with 50% and the 5th has a gash...?
adjustable control arms are worth maybe 200, if the bushings were good. now if he was willing to toss in the springs, then it might be worth it. depending on what you want more.
