Is that your nice way of saying I will need a lift to run those? Lol

These just popped up on craigslist and I think I can get them for a good price, but if not I plan on getting an OME lift first.

Good price is not always a good deal
I have been offered two sets of JK Rubicon wheels in the past two weeks for free!
Turned them down since I won't run adapters plus ugly:icon_lol:

With 32s, need 4 inches of lift and regear to 4.10s at least ( to start)

Yeah im going to need to reevaluate things for sure. Im looking at the OME set up so maybe 3.5" tops...

I really want soft 8's only reason I would get anything else would be for the price. Hell I could get 5 wheels for less than the adapters for them would cost. Lol.

You guys did your job, bad idea was bad. yupnope.gif

Cragar makes Unique wheels, which they have a soft 8 variant. You can get them in a 16x7 with a 0 offset, which is right where you'll wanna be. It's the Unique type 297 is the one you'll want. Cheaper too with the same quality.

EDIT - they come in the correct bolt pattern also!

Until you have the slightest incline.

Never could figure out why people with a manual trans don't think its necessary to regear, been trying to figure that out for last 40 years ?? :emotions34::icon_razz:
