I went with the Crager soft 8's wrapped in the Firestone Destinations

LOL at the Jeep Centercaps! That's something I'm 98% sure has never been done before. So did they just snap on or what? I didn't think they'd fit.

thanks guys! and no, they didnt just snap on. i wish they would have!!
I had to sacrifice my 5th cap for the spare and make a templet and drill 5 holes on each wheel...(two for the pegs and three for the screw holes)
It took a while to get it right! I'm going to order another cap for my spare on ebay.

looks good. I like the center caps as well. I'd see if you could color match them to the dark red/maroon of your jeep.

just south of doucheville
would this same set up fit a stock libby,no lift?




probably not
the back spacing on the rims will push the tires out changing the position of the outer edge when you turn and cause a great deal of rubbing from the wider and taller tire

I hate to sound like I am preaching but I can not under stand why so many people are hung up on getting the same ole black steelies that the rest of the world is running
it is cheeper and a sure fired fit with the OE wheels and those tires on stock suspension
and it is also a sure fired fit with OME suspension and 245/75 16's of any type on OE wheels
I guess the way I see it the OE wheels look better or about the same
but I am not huge on looks however the OE wheels function better and that is what is most important for me
