thanks for the quick reply, but i would rather just buy some black wheels instead of trying to find sahara take offs, buying wheel spacer's and then painting them black.

i run that size on my stock 70th edition rims. Also an optional wheel on 2012 Sahara's. I'm very happy with it. Good luck on your search.

I would stick with stockers, you can pick them up inexpensive and painted black they look great

These are my old 33's on Sahara rims

Just an info :
Wheel spacers are not necessary (on stock 18" Sahara rims) for the 275x70/18, but it looks better with it !

Have you tried Tire Rack & Discount Tire web sites? You'll want 4.5" backspace; 5x5 bolt pattern. Those tires are a little over 11" wide, so in theory, if not airing down too much a 9 inch wide rim should work. There's an ATX Slot w/4" backspace black 10 hole and silver lip $250@. Another option is custom made steel wheels. Good luck.
