Actually just found a set of Crager Soft 8s, a steel wheel for only $69 each. I emailed Crager to see if they work with TPMS, I understand most newer wheels do, but some don't and this is an older design.

If they'll work, what y'all think of 'em on a black Jeep?

Oh and if it turns out I can go with those black wheels, I'm gonna have to opt for these:

Welcome to the Nitto Family

You will like those tires, they are what I ran before going with the Mud Grapplers

I'm sure I will, the Jeep is mainly an on-road daily driver with some light off-road and camping use. Maybe a little mud on the way to a fishin hole or someplace, nothing major, although with the lockers front and rear, the added lift and those tires, the thing is probably as off-roadable as the truck...

Hammer, go look at the lifted WJ/ZJ thread on that other forum. There's tons of back WJ's with those rims.

IMHO stick with the overland wheels. The Cragars are too over played. Some small spacers might be a good idea though...

Problem is not being a WJ, it's the TPMS that is standard on the Overland and an option on the Limited.

Actually, one of the reasons I'm debating staying with the stock chrome ones is that I don't want the tires to be outside the tire well. Having to clean one vehicle everytime I go down a clay road in Ga after a rain is enough. At least the red rooster tails kinda blend on the truck...

Hammer if you could pull the $ together, those cragar soft 8s would look sweet on your jeep. Those stock rims scream cheesy suburbanite soccer mom SUV, not offroader "i've got lockers" Jeep.

You know hammer, I think a set of Rubicon wheels would look sick on there. Especially if you can get a set off of a sahara rubicon. They have a painted lip, and look killer. I had a set on my TJ.

When I put on my 4" lift on my TJ, everybody said, 'you cant even tell'. lol. Even though I had 33's on it. But when I would park next to a stock TJ, it would tower over it.

The Jeep looks good man. Ive always had a secret liking to lifted GRAND cherokees. Probably because my first jeep was an XJ. RIP... loved that thing....

Anyways, man I like the setup youve got. Im glad you went with the grapplers. I must have been mistaken, because I thought that in the other thread, you said you were getting some sumo-topo tires, or something like that. lmao.

happy wheeling... Just Empty Every Pocket....

Yeah, was gonna go with a set of no-name tires, my budget is super tight right now, but a buddy in Ga. with a tire and auto repair shop came through with the Terra Grappler for not much more than the no-names were. Local tire stores here in Fl. were up in the $170 range a tire and he came thru with a price of $590 mounted and balanced! Couldn't pass that up...
