Show me your lift/tires with 16" stock wheels!

Default Show me your lift/tires with 16" stock wheels!

I have been thinking about putting a mud tire on my optional 16" factory wheels..
Possibly 285/75 16 or 295/75 16 (pro comp / hankook / or trXus)

These:



ANYONE have a mud tire on 16's they can show me????
any size tire is fine.

OR is this just too incredibly ugly?


THANKS!

2" RE lift and Goodyear MT/R's 285-75-16's (33's). I just replaced the tires with ProComp XMT's 285-75-16's (33's) but I haven't taken any pictures yet. They are mounted on the stock steel 16" rims.

No lift yet, but here are my ProComp Mud Terrains in 285/75/16 on the stock steelies:



I think I'm going to try to paint the rims black until I can get some new ones.

That looks great! Have any more pics?

JeepJunky, those pro comps look awesome on your JK! (I'm assuming you don't have any lift?) Do you have any more pics? I have been considering getting mine powder coated black as well. You MUST post a pic if you paint em black.

rfrogman, I would like to see pics of the pro comps when you get them on.

Thanks guys, keep em coming! I may be keeping my wheel after all. Haven't seen any stock wheels with a lift yet...

I think the stock 16" steel wheels look real nice with the bigger tires... I'm sorry...

Plus, I'm sure it wont hurt as much (your wallet) if you bang them up off road and need to replace them. Any idea what a dealer gets for them?

Also, any issues with using the stock 16" wheel for offroading??? Weaknesses???


(Let's see more pictures too!)
