Raised Whites or No? ...and Soft 8s

[RookieLibertyist]

Ok. So I'm in need of some new tires and when I get some I plan on getting Firestone Destination ATs 235/70/16. They have raised why letters on them. should I have them turned inward so I dont see the the letters? If there are any pics of both the raised white and turned in that would help a lot thanks.

Just to throw in another question while I'm here...I'm gonna get some soft 8s sometime in the next couple months as well. what size would they be? I believe it is 16x7 with the 4.5 bolt pattern. Also Cragar has like six different "series" of the soft 8s that are the right size (I think), which "series" do I get and is there a difference? While I'm on this topic too how much backspacing should I have on them? could i also get some pics of nthe soft 8s without the chrome cup in the middle preferably on a black kj.

ok thanks. hopefully thats it.

IMO rwl don't look good, but to each is own...

I'm a white letter guy.

As for the wheels=
Stock BS is 5.5" I think Soft 8s are 4", which means you'll have alot of rubbing if you're not lifted.

Wow, my silent armors didn't come with white lettering on either side.

Whites out. Looks good because you can show off how good they look on your Jeep. -or- whites in if your embarrassed...:disgust:

Bolts are 5 x 4.5

White doesn't look good on my Jeep,I'm all for black lettering out.Glad my MT/R's came black letters both sides as they must be mounted in one direction as they are asymetrical.

Hi,

I put the whites out on my XJ as it is an 'old' design and they look fine. As fir the KJ.....nope.

I like whites out myself which is good because I had no choice on my MT/Rs:

I have never liked RWL on tires.
We didn't have a choice either!
But it has grown on me and now I think it looks alright.
When we go up to 265's or 285's I don't really care one way or another!

I've always been a fan of rwl's on anything but trail rigs.

It's is somewhat of a "status/check out what I roll" type of statement when it comes to a road ready vehicle.
Now when it comes to an off-road type of rig, you're not going to get any trail respect for sporting rwl, for the simple fact that any true off-roader would know what tire you're rolling immediately after glancing at them.

couldnt disagree more. It's just the white letters contrasting. It's not like I would expect anyone to actually read the whole thing around the tire. The actual model isn't in white usually anyway. It is purely for looks, not advertising.

Yeah, so true!
First we'll try 6 inches of lift, steel diff and very possibly 33's!
I'm ready to cut, shut, and weld whatever needs cutting and modding!
We'll step up to 4:56 at that time as well...
