Hi,
Looking at possibly changing the wheels on the Jeep WJ,
255 55 18 All Terrains are coming in at £125 for General Grabber AT2,
So was possibly thinking of either dropping to 16inch modular wheels, will these fit ok on a 2002 that came with factory 17's on it?
Or option 2 is there are loads of Landy Modular wheels and Tires on ebay, so look for the hub / spacer adaptor so I can use landy wheels.
What do you think, Ideally I want to keep the 18's but its what is the best cost wise.
Oh and its having a 2inch lift very soon.
Cheers
James

Get 16" steels like Jedi's, better offset for a lift.
BTW Grabbers still come in at £115 for 245-74-16's Not a huge saving
-
landy adapter/spacer plates? I oughta come right round and slap you........
-
Come on then big boy, I am ready and waiting!
-
I hear you say that a lot :gfightsmiley: :xxx_knockinboots:
I would come round but I have a sneaky feeling you are trying to get me on my back again...... under your bloody Ghay jeep. :wave-fingersmiely:
-
Rob I cannot help it if when you see me you just roll over onto your back lol.
Anyway, back on track!
With a 2inch lift, will the off set of my current startec wheels be ok? As if the difference in cost that much I would rather put AT's in these wheels.
-
what a change, i like it :greggmo:
on thursday i will never get this dirty to today 2" lift and AT tyres :icon_biggrin:
go with the 16's, you dont want skinny tyres for off road, need depth. Sell the 18's, they are ghay
-
and buy some front roll bar disconects with the money from the wheels
-
Ok, so get the 18's up for sale on the bay, they should fetch decent money.
Then 16's and what size tires do you recommend without arch rubbing?
-
thats one for the WJ boys
-
with 2" lift, max size is 245-75-16. And is Jedi says 265-70-16's fit he's telling you porkies :hysterical:
-
Excellent, just need to sell mine, put jeep on bricks and source some new ones. All before 13th October when MOT is due.
-
where in the UK are you? Have a couple of spare sets here you can borrow
-
he's about 3 miles from me just off j4 m5
-
What he said, be great if we can work something out to tie me over mate
-
Will have a look at what I have when I fit my tyres Friday, if its just for storage no problems, but I will have to se if I have any legal tyres on my spares.
-
Cheers mate, much appreciated.
-
Looks like I am going to put a set of general grabber AT2's on the current wheels. Also looked at Insa Turbo's which are £40 a corner cheaper.
-
if ya tyres dont rub fit bigger tyres :icon_super:
Mud gets em all in the end :icon_biggrin:
i still have the 17's if you need a quick fix mate, get your ass to mine for a final BBQ of the good weather and we will put them pucks on
no cant do that they are in the post tomorrow :wsmile:
Get rid of those 18's they are not jeepy at all, and steve 265/70/16's do fit just dont go over anything bumpy :hysterical:
-
Sorry but my offer of the wheels may be off. Seems they were nicked when my container was broken into. They were tucked away at the back without tyres and now they aren't there :banghead: The theiving pikey scum probibly weighed them in, twats.
-
Nick, get the pucks posted, and its staying in 18's with AT's! A bling off roader, yea baby.
Oh and offer of BBQ, love to but it looks like baby wants to become a birty sooner rather that later. At hospital as I write this.
-

Hope all goes well
-
