Yeah im just waiting on price for the adapters, my max ill pay on adapters is 350 bucks, since its 250 for pressed centers plus labor to have them installed. As for tires, most on ebay are overpriced after shipped, I can get 5 37" radials shipped to my door for just under 500 bucks, thats shipping and tires, plus the tires have 90% tread.

Not yet, but I will find out, for the mean time i got a reply on just the adapters, no word yet on the wheels from the owner but I'll ask him who made them for him......the guy im talking to about gave me the info on the adapters but not yet on the wheels, since he did both setups, the custom wheel he had made and also the adapters for the silver JK.

Unless you have the rims handy, and are getting the tires for next to free, don't bother.
They are E-Rated so they will ride like rocks, the compound is extremely hard, so they don't provide much grip, and overall are not great tires.
A lot of guys run them because they are cheap, and a lot of FSJ's came stock with 16.5 wheels.
As for the wheels, they will have to be recentered. And if they are the 12 bolt wheels, they are worth recentering and running. If they are the 8 bolts, don't bother.

Motorsport Tech makes adapters for the Jk's to fit H1 wheels, and run 300 bucks a set. This setup looks really nice, the trick to getting a decent ride on the road with these tires is to run them at lower pressure, just like my brother running semi wheels and tires on his superduty. When my 35's wear out towards the end of the year, I may go this route, i love the look of the setup and price wise falls in line of going 37's with my current 16" wheels. By the time I need to replace tires, I'll be replacing my ball-joints anyways
Here are the adapters on a Jeep JK
