Yes, but I will need more flat brim hats to go with them

I would have guessed you just need a yellow #24 shirt. But I am often wrong

Just buy your trail ready beadlocks in the backspacing you want That's my plan...

Boring...

I ran D rated BFG KM2 for a few years. I personally think the load rating thing is overrated.

I ran MTR/Ks before I went to 33s on the same wheels and then 35s on my new wheels - the load range thing is way overblown.

WTF?!!

I agree. Load range won't make or break the ride quality.

Still saving for rims and tyres Planning on going with 17". Seen a lot of D and E ranges.

35x12.5x17 MTRs are C range.

35x12.5x17 Baja Bosses are D range.

The tire sites I have looked at says the MT tyres are available. The MT/R still show as backordered. I have a bit more time to wait it out for the MT/R's.

Opening up the center bore? Didn’t realize there was enough space to open it up before you got really close to the lug nuts.

All depends on the rim. I had these opened up to clear the 5.5" hub kit.

Bill goddammit, flat bill. Flat brims are what the Amish wear.

You can for most other wheels, why would these be different? Same diameter for the same bolt pattern!

The tapered lug nut bore is much wider on the TJ Moabs than other wheels I’ve seen. I suppose you could, but it is too close for my comfort.

Although it may be a non-issue, too close for my liking.

I don't like it either.

@jjvw 's post really puts that in perspective, it's more than I expected!

This might be the first JK Moab with a Warn small hub kit!

View attachment 314360

I like that a lot

 

[Mike_H]

Looks decent too. Just need to strip and powdercoat in silver

Scuff and repaint would be far easier

I've been beating my head against the wall looking for a good 15" wheel for the small hub kit. I've even looked at JK/JL/JT wheels, in a 17", but can't seem to do better than where I'm at now, due to the adapters needed to run them. The only decent improvement I've found moves my wheels in .28", which hardly seems worth it. Fortunately, I have this as an extra set of wheels already, KMC Enduro (15x9).

FWIW, I've been using this calculator to check the old (current) wheel position, versus potential new ones. The visual interface makes it very easy to see any potential changes.

I think I found the wheels. 5” backspace. $280 for all 4. I think they are old model or something because they are cheap on a few other sites. Not a simulated beadlocks fan but they are the best I’ve found in 5” backspace for the price

Make they actually have it in stock. Most of these ebay wheel sellers don't.
