Those are called Ravines, they came off 2005-2006 TJ & LJ(Wrangler unlimited) There was another set of them for sale on the local KSL online classifieds for a few days, no one was buying them cuz he had the bolt circle listed wrong(5x5.5" instead of 5x4.5").  I was going to buy them $180 with decent 235x75's,but got busy for a few days and then when I did get back to it someone else that recognized them and knew the bolt circle in the add was wrong beat me to it...

Was wondering if you could post a picture of your eagle with the hurricane wheels with blackwalls?

Wow, this actually looks pretty cool with the wide stance and black wheels!

They stick out a little to far for my taste. Not to mention you wouldn't have much suspension travel before it hit the flares.
Here's one with one letter tires:


I definitely couldn't do this with those wide wheels and tires:

I like the wide stance:

But it needs to go up a bit further and definitely need to make some stoppers for the travel on the suspension so they don't rip up the flares.

The rear needs some 1" spacers too but I like it myself.  This is the look I'll be going for with Bouquet bit with a few more inches of lift.

I agree on more lift, but it looks like a bad mammerjammer that way. The IH 2wd rims I have are similarly outward offset.

AMC/Jeep gauges are for amusement only. Any correlation between them and reality is purely coincidental!

Yeah, I'm digging the wide stance, but I agree with GRONK, you can definitely see that the rear wheels are in more than the fronts. Needs some spacers...and obviously some UPs! :)
