I just picked up this LJ with these wheels and tires. Have receipt of purchase from tire rack for $2200 from 05/2020. Setup has been road force balanced. Wheels are method racing 312 in bronze, 17x8.5, 5x5 bolt pattern, 4.75" BS. Tires are BFG all terrain KO2 in 315/70/17, load C which is proper for wranglers. These tires still have the "hairs" on them and have a manufacturer date 0520 stamped on the tire. The spacers are 1.25" spidertrax hubcentric spacers. I also have the receipt for these, just Google them, theyre the best out there. Looking to trade for another set of wheels and tires. Either TJ or JK bolt pattern and good tread, AT, 33-35 inch tires. Would prefer something in the 34x11.5 range like 285/75/17. Would also really like a set of 5 if possible. Willing to accept cash and a set to even things out.

Still searching. Willing to buy outright, and if so, then sell these.

man that LJ as it is is exactly what I wish my TJ was (even got close to the same color and a trektop with plans to paint my wheels bronze)

Just curious as 34x11.5 sounds like my ideal tire size, what options are there in that size and a C load range? I've only been casually looking but haven't seen much that isn't at least a D.

Thanks, I looked for years for a nice Jeep Green LJ with a 6 speed and a clean frame. Its not as nice as the ad pictures made it out to be, and I paid a bit high for it, but I finally got one!

And yeah, there aren't any 34x11.5 ish options in load c. I'm considering 295/75/16 or 285/75/17, as those are the closest I've found to bigger than 33, not quite 35, and not 12.5 wide

just curious...why the switch?

 

[BCB75]

I need to run giant fender flares to cover the tread to be legal here. 3.5" total backspacing with 12.5 wide tires.. Also, the added weight and stress of running 35s is hard on things. I like the look ok, but mostly just like the color. Would prefer a lighter, skinnier tire on 15s or 16s. Plus, these are fancy and probably worth a bit more than what I would replace with.

You definitely peaked my interest but I just don't think I'm quite ready for 35's yet. Here is mine on 285/75/16's to give you an idea and I got great mileage going out to Rausch.

Thats the setup I had on my tj rubicon (sold earlier this week). Can't wait to hit Rauch soon (trying to get through inspection first)

Found some wheels, but this setup will be for sale shortly. Let me know if you are interested.

dont know if you ever switched these out but i just got this lj with 305 70 16s on them. theyre in good shape?

 

[BCB75]

I do still have them, but need to update the post with what I'm now looking for. That said, I'm not a fan of those wheels and am looking for 35s now. Thanks though

no problem, they dont thrill me either but i think i could live with them if they had a nice set of 35s on them.
