Ordered some KCs, Smittybilt windshield brackets and soft top boot for my JK for Christmas. Maybe Santa will let me open them early to have in time for the holiday.

I received all of my CB Kit and will be installing this weekend:

Cobra 29WXNWST
Cobra M75 High Gear Power Mic
Teraflex Mount
Firestick II Antenna
Fire-Flex coax with FireRing

I'm gonna do the antenna wire different this time. In my TJ, I just used the whole 18', loosely coiled under the carpet. It was okay, got good SWR with it. This time, I'm going to cut it to length, discard the excess and solder on the PL-259. If I don't get good SWR I'm only out a cable, but I think I'm gonna be okay.

Checked to see if my new wheels fit

I took a crayon and colored the inside of the wheel and put it back on tightening the lugs as much as I could and still be able to spin the wheel and this is where it was hitting.
The line from my finger to the bottom of the caliper

Where it was hitting on the wheel


Wheel on jeep

Wheel without spacer front view

Without spacer rear view

With 2" spacer front view

With 2" spacer rear view

2" spacer
Guess I'll have to grind the calipers or run the spacers

you do not have to do either, there are true spacers out there that are a 4/16" thick, what you have are classified as adapters. I know retarded because they are the same lug pattern. however if you call some place like summit racing they should be able to help you out. We had to do this with my buddy's chevy about two weeks ago his was rubbing in the same spot, luckily i found a ghetto rim store around here that had them. So look into it they are only like 12 bucks a piece from most places but summitracing had them for like 7 bucks

Looks like the ones I just put on my JK, but mine are 16" and 8" wide with 3-3/4" back spacing.

Just installed them with my new snow tires.

I got a set of Blizzacs 275-70X16. Fronts stick out a little.

It's a 2010 JK Sport. S(m)urf Blue 2 door. Power windows/locks. Cruise, Sirius...etc. I'll try to get some pictures of it tonight....it's been raining in Maryland for the last two days.

6spd with 3.73's. Planning on a TeraFlex BB and Kuhmo Venture KL71's. I'm stuck between a size though, 265/70/17 or 33x12.50x17.

Hey RacingRandy, have you drivent your JK with the wheel spacers on yet? If so, how did it handle with that much of a wider stance? Mine wanders a little and was thinking that widening the stance may help a little.
