Wheel Replacement

[PSTEELE]

Just picked up an 06 TJ with a LS swap to play around with. It has BFG KM2’s which are great for off roading but not great for cruising around. I am thinking about running a setup for on road and keeping the current setup for off road. Wanted to see what everyone thought about these wheels. I really like the polished and wanted to see what the community thought about how they would look. Would run them 17x9 with 37” RT Trails.

Looks are up to you.

I don't know what axles, gear ratio you're running.

From the picture it's a six lug wheel. Your existing wheels are 5 lug...if they're stock axles then it's 5x4.5 and if you build them right can run up to 35s with no issues.

What's the wheel's backspacing?

KM2s have not been around for awhile. My guess is your existing tires are older than what most folks would consider safe.

My first TJ was black and yellow with chrome rims, I liked the look of that Jeep. The black you have looks good too... personal preference. Feel like everyone has gone to dark rims, polished gives it a cool look. Lots of nooks and crannies to be cleaned on those rims you posted

Pic is just for reference, they make this wheel in 5 lug. Axles aren’t stock and have 5:13 gearing.

Thanks for the pic, it helps me get a feel for the polished on yellow.
