Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying some BF M/Ts for the winter and putting them on my stock X 16" steel wheels. Do you know what size spacers I would need in order to do this?

Also, can anyone tell me how wide the stock 08 X steel wheels are?

 

what size tire

 

Probably 255/70/16

 

Try the FAQ's that you skipped over, pasted right up at the top of this section.


But...
Those tires are 30x10x16. You don't need spacers. Stock on rubicons and opt sahara is 32x10

From the faq's:

X Standard
Painted Steel - Size 16 x 7.0

Backspacing on all factory wheels is 6.25"

Q: What is the biggest size tire I can fit on my stock Jeep JK Wrangler?

 

You should consider getting Rubicon take-offs instead. A larger tire & you can probably pick up a full set of 5 on the rims for around $500.

 

I ran 265 75 16 BFG's on the steel rims till I lifted mine. No rubbing issues

 

You can certainly use spacers on your factory wheels and tires without issue. You can use 1.5" spacers. I don't see any reason to switch to 16" wheels but it's your call. Spacers can be used in stock form or with a lift and larger tires. If you just want to bring your wheels out to fill out your wheel wells and widen your stance a little - go for it.

 

X2....with the 1.5 inch spacers, our rigs (with OEM wheels) look awesome, they should be that way from the factory..

 

Thanks guys, I appreciate the info!

 

you wont need them ive had 265/75/16 on mine for 4months and not a problem yet.
