Default before and after

Okay, here's the skinny. I bought this 98 Tj in June. The tires are BFG A/T 30x9.50 15's on stock rims shown with 1 1/2 inch wheel spacers and 1 1/2 inch spring spacers. The fender flares are ebay random 6 inch.

The new = BFG A/T 32x11.50 15's which I had to get on ebay because that size was back ordered every where I went locally. The wheels, I also got on ebay, are American Eagle 186's 15x8, which I must admit I got from Mr. C. thanks Mr. C.!! The back spacing is 3 5/8 which gives them a little over 1 1/2 inch more than stock. Stock back spacing on these Gamblers being 5.25.

10 inch !! oh, you mean 4 the Jeep? I'm old man, 1 1/2 inch is enough 4 me. When you get older you don't look to live in a TWO STORY. And you don't want to live to far from a hospital!! I hear.

I've had my time being over the top. Time to watch you younger guys kick sum a$$. But for some reason I can't stay with stock wheels.

It looks good but you should at least go with a 4" lift, and 33" tires. It wont be much bigger than you are now but will give you a pretty mean stance. But it does look nice.
