Hi Bolsak=3. Your set up is just what i was planning to do.
What is the width of the wheels? 8" or 9"?
Have you experience more rubbing?
I am thinking of Centreline wheels 18x8 BS 5" (selling at $159) with 35 KM2 tires.
I don't want them to rub nor do i want them to stick out.
I haven't seen anyone here with Centreline wheels.

As for rub, I do get a very slight rub on the cheepy air damn when the wheel is turned all the way. I'm stupid anal about maintaining my stuff and it isn't even enough to where I'm concerned about damaging anything. I had it at full flex in the rear and the tire appeared to be touching the rear fender but never left a mark. Again, nothing concerning.
The wheels I put on are 18x9 with a 5" backspace.
And dude, don't hesitate to by them, you'll love them!
I'm 5'8" for comparison. I don't have any pictures of it straight on ATM but I'll get you one within the week. So stay tuned. Thanks a lot for the complements, it serves to relieve some of the financial stress I just put on myself!

Sorry about the late reply but I've not been on here lately. I have the stock 4.10's and so far it's not all that bad. I would like taller gearing though, I'll probably get the 5.13's by this time next year. The tires are absolutely fine in town and under 65mph, but vibration does start to rear it's head beyond that. I drove about 500 miles this last week on I-95 where the speed limit is 70mph and i felt most comfortable driving right at or slightly under the speed limit (which I calculated my speedometer was about 8mph slow at those speeds). Mostly because my miliage drops very significantly each and every mile above 60mph. But forget all that mess... The tires are just so bad-ass, all that goes right out the door with the happiness factor!

Cool,
Thanks of rthe rply. I bought the BFG's ova the weekend and they are just GRRreat. It snowed last night here in Ny we got a bout an inch but we went up state boarding annd the snow was deep there and the tire allowed me to blast through the embankments with ease.
next for me is the lift.
I have not taken a pic of my rescue hero jeep, ( my kids like to call it that) with the new shoes on but I will and post soon also.
