Wheels and Tires Once again!!!

Anyone have any thoughts on using these 16x8 wheels on a 04 WJ Columbia Edition with the IRO 3in Lift? Would most likely run 265/75/16 AT with them.

Wheels have 4in of backspacing, that should work right?

i like them, your jeep is like a dark red right, and with that size you may have to do minor bumper trimming.

Nope

I actually have the Bright Silver colored Jeep. No pictures posted yet, but I'll have some pre and post lift pics up in the next couple of weeks.

the rims will fit fine, tires may be a bit too big

Just trim the bumper good, you'll be fine, as long as you aren't afraid to hack into it.

Those rims will work.

I know you didn't ask for opinions, but those rims are fugly

Check out the procomp series that 4wheelparts.com has, both Blaine and I have been eying them. I would definately get a 8" rim so you can move up to 12.5" wide tire later on if needed.
