New wheels and tires
« on: June 15, 2011, 01:16:16 PM »
The tires have been sitting in my shed for a couple months waiting for new wheels, I thought I was going to get a set of black steel Police wheels, since the ones I've been wanting never, never pop up on CL (the ones I have now, or the 5 spoke Grand Cherokee ones)
Got these for $80, tires cost $360 shipped,
sure, they are a little rough, and I have 1 brown center cap, but man, they just look right, they are a bit wide (225/70/15) I had to take my mudflaps off so they wouldn't rub up front

I'm a big fan of that style of wheel myself.  Someday a set will find their way on to one of my Eagles.

In January 2010 a local Jeep-only salvage yard had a going out of business sale.  I snagged as many of those wheels as I could for $10.00 each.  I've also been lucky enough to find them in Pick-n-Pull on occasion.

I also think those wheels look perfect on an Eagle. Period correct and cool at the same time.

I like the look.

Do those wheels have the same backspacing as stock eagle wheels?  What kind of jeep do they come off of?

I believe these were on late 80s early 90s XJ Cherokees
I'm pretty sure all Cherokee wheels have the same backspacing as Eagles, but I didn't measure (4.5")
