Who has steelies? (pics and discussion)

[Honest_Abe74]

Finally got my new steelies mounted up. Eventually I'd like to paint them the same bronze/gold color as the old school CJ Golden Eagle wagon wheels, but for now I'm quite happy.

Wheels are Wheel Vintiques Bare 14-Series Gennie Wheels 15x8s (P/N 939-14-5812334) on 33x10.5x15 General Grabber X3s with cheap standard trailer wheel center caps. Unfortunately the wheels are now nearly double the price of when I first purchased back in late 2021.

Any wheel/tire sticking out beyond the fender flares?

I still can't get over watching old movies with dinosaurs and cavemen. The two never existed together.

Remember the TV show "Its About Time"?

Remember the TV show "Its About Time"?

Yes! And hardly anyone does remember that! Extremely short-lived, if I recall correctly. Maybe one season...?

It was my favorite show back in the day - I even had the "Official" lunchbox! Sold it on eBay years back for big bucks!

Yes, I'd estimate about an inch to inch and a half. Unfortunately I won't be able to get an actual measurement until later in the week but I will update when I do.

This looks great! Very cool! Sucker for solid steelies on a Jeep. Might just be the solution I'm in need of as well (or will be by this time tomorrow). Are your wheels/tires flush or inside the fender flares when parked level? If so, I'd really appreciate the specifics on these wheels and tires, you'd be my hero for the day.

I don't remember the specifics as far as backspace goes but they do stick out from the flares a bit (an inch?). I'll try to find a pic

Unfortunately, about 1.5" too much, but I appreciate the info. Trying to clear a state mechanical safety inspection with an inbound Jeep that's got "hip" issues.
