I looked into these and honestly by the time you are done with all four you are around $150 and why not just save that and put it towards a set of wheels with the correct backspacing.

Especially when you can get a strong, steel wheel in 17" like the Cragar Soft 8s for around $70 each in black (and chrome ain't much more). Backspacing on them is around 4 1/2". They've been the Jeeper/off-road guys staple wheel for as long as I can remember and look damn nice to me...

Yep, 5 on 5.5". About a year ago I know Summit had the Soft 8s in 17", 5 on 5.5 for like $72 each in black with a deal for $25 flat shipping for a full set of four. Chrome ones were like $98. Tough to beat that deal if they still have it...
just called summit, they have the soft 8's in 15" rims for only 53 bucks a piece, only bad thing is, the center cap is 16 bucks so you'll need four of those but thats still a heck of a deal. i think id rather get the 15's...when i get new tires 15's are a lot cheaper than 17's.

Be careful with that and make sure 15"s will fit. I know for a fact that 17" is the smallest you can go for 2006 and up. You need to remember that the wheel has to be large enough on the inside to clear your brake rotors and calipers.

yeah now that i think about it im pretty sure 17 is the smallest i can go too. oh well, looks like i just have to save a little bit longer lol. nice truck btw
Yep, 17" is the minimum to clear the brake calipers.
I had 15" Soft 8s on my '94 Wrangler with 33" tires and the combo looked great. No pics though, this was before digital camera days and the ex took all our photo albums when we split...
