not exactly what you're lookin' for but maybe this helps, 36x14.5x18 on 9" rims and 3.5" backspace

Here is the link for the 35x14.5x16 from 4wd.

Those 14.5 do look really good. I'm trying to picture it with stock fenders.

Ive got 33.5x14.5x16 SSR super swampers that i will be putting on my jeep this saturday. Im doing a 3 inch lift by Black Diamond. As far as wheel options are concerned, you wont have many options. I had to go with a procomp 1069 wheel. There are only about a hand full of wheels that are made 10 inches wide that will fit the JK bolt pattern. And two of those options are on back order.

here are the wheels and tires i have

I got these wheels for $99 a piece....awesome deal!



I searched for a month for these wheels but could not find them because they discontinued. Sucks! but oh well!

Can someone tell me the details on this jeep??? I am looking to set mine up similar.

Probably some 35x15.5x15 claws on 15x10 or 15x12 wheels with 3.5" lift or so. The new claws look similar without having to go up to a 35. You can sometimes find some 31x15.5" claws if you scrounge craigslist.

All speculation though....I don't know what the jeep has, I just know I saved the pic too.

So you believe them to look like 15 inch rims? wondering cause from my understanding 15inch has issues clearing brake caliper...Is this not the case?

Just based on proportions I think they look like 15's but I could be wrong. 15's aren't always an issue, particularly the aluminum versions have less fitment issues than the stamped steel wheels. I personally have 15" rims on my jeep without issues. The sticky weights on the inside of the wheel clipped the brake caliper, but conventional balancing cured that issue.

15's and claws here on my jeep, the claws are quite the tire. The wide rims and wider tires will give you a similar look to what he's got above. These are only 10" wide tires but they look considerably wider because of the tread and wheel width.
