Okay... I've read the other threads, but not found the information I need. I have a 97 TJ which I had some mods done to when I bought it in 2016.. Among them is a 3" lift kit, wheels from a JK, new winch, bumpers, etc etc. Here's the 'Old Grey Mare' as she was a month before I left her at the Black Hills house and headed to Florida for the winter (actually pict is from when I bought it)...
Fast forward from 2016 when this pict was taken (looks weird without all the look where I've been decals LOL)...
So before I left the old girl in South Dakota, I bought her some new trinkets: 4:56 gears, air lockers, and a complete overhaul kit for Dana 30 & 35 axles (not all in photo). This all should be completely installed shortly, I get there in May..
Then before I fled south, I took her tire shopping and she's sporting LT285/70R-17 KO2's (33" diameter). I think the JK wheels are a bit narrow, and they have spacers which I'm not a fan of. I would like to get a set of plain steel wheels with baby moon hub caps for it... US Wheel looks like the only place I can find them, so I need dimensions. for the tire width and offset.
The 33" tires rub if I crank the wheel over hard, but no other time yet.
One other thing... I am an old guy, I have had more than my share of crazy toys. I'm now down to this old girl and a new Polaris General. I did a lot research before dropping this relatively tall stack General Lees upgrading Ol Gray, because I kept hearing about how people are snapping axles. Save it, already heard it all many times, learned why it happens, and I think I'm good. If not, maybe I'll buy one of those Chinese axles with the fancy names, or just replace what I break...
For now, I need to know dimensions of on the wheel I need> Width for these tires, and offset...
Thanks folks, maybe I'll see you in The Black Hills, The Big Horns or possibly Moab
