CJ Wheels on TJ

[Kyle_W]

Truthfully, I like the factory canyon or ravine wheels in 15" or the stock 16" rubicon wheels. All look great. I have the 16" rubi's and they are simple and sharp looking.

I totally forgot about the ravine wheels. They look pretty good, you are right!

You can buy replica ravines for $80 a pop from www.oewheelsllc.com. Not too bad for a brand new wheel.

Ehh too expensive but thank you! Otherwise...that is a really cool website...

I am relying on finding a cheap pair of Jeep take off's from craigslist.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner. This just looks good on that white TJ. Even makes the white letters on the tires look right.

I always thought that all factory wheels were 7" wide..I guess then if the Ravine's are 8" wide, then I don't know what those steel wheels are that I posted!

I like those black ones your posted. What size tire are you going to run? Back spacing might be an issue for you with a stock backspaced wheel. I had Canyons on my TJ and liked them, but with 5.5" of BS they rubbed the lower control arm and sway bar when I went with a bigger tire.

Yea the canyons look very characterisitc of the TJ! They look good.

But i'm going to run 31x10.5" tires. I would like a mixture between an AT and a MT tire - however all of the great tire manufacturers don't make a tire like that (Goodyear, BF Goodrich). Everything is either complete MT or street/AT tire.

BFG's KO2 and General Tire AT3 come to mind for a good aggressive AT. Here's a pic from back in the day when I was rocking Canyons on 31x1050x15 BFG KM's.

Anyone remember the old 'turbine' style wheels ?
Always thought they looked good when clean. Black with the highlights polished. ....

The Goodyear duratracs are about as close as they come to a mix of MT/AT tires. If you aren't going to do any deep mud this tire is great. I'm really impressed with how they handle and grip in the rain. I've tried to break them loose on an interstate off ramp where my old Goodyear GSA's would spin and I can't do it. So color me impressed. Plus they look great.

Eh i've already considered those, but the KM2's certainly are good tires!

I actually have 33" Duratracs right now! I too am very impressed with them. On the last off-road trip I went on, during the rain and in the mud, I never ever got stuck. I remember when I bought them for $170 a pop, now they are $230 a pop!

I keep reading good things about the Goodyear Wrangler Authority, and they are priced a lot better than Duratracs:

I am thinking that was with a 2" OME lift? Looks like one of their shocks...

You would be correct.

I love my factory Rubi's as well especially because of the 33x10 (255/85R16) option. Well, if the 2-3 manufactures keep making them. :-(
