rubi wheels/tires on an x
before anyone yells at me for not searching, "x" doesn't work very well in the search field...i did put a lot of effort into findingthis one on my own but no dice.
my question: I'm looking at putting stock wheels/tires off a 2010 Rubi on my 2009 X... anyone see any problems with that? Is there anything I should do to make the transition easier?
thanks...

awesome. yea i got my x completely stock, 16inch wheels and all... a couple months back i found 5 takeoffs from a 2007 sahara(18's) that were BARELY USEDDD/FULL TREAD for only $350..... as i was putting them on, someone driving by bought my old ones.
deffinitely one of my luckier days...
only down side to these is that they don't have the TPMS sensors sinse they're off a 2007. i've heard a DINGGGG every time i've started my car since then. $90 a pop * 5 = just stupid for a minor convenience.
so naturally i wanted to go a bit bigger and found some rubi take offs from a 2010 that only have 250 miles on them on craigslist... i hope the deal i'm working out with this guy comes through.
thanks for the quick responses guys, i love this site.

You'd save $300 over buying the sensors,and be able to adjust a bunch of different settings on your Jeep.

In LA, any failure on the yearly state inspection shows up on the VIN check (i.e. CarFax) as something like "Failed State Safety/Emissions Check." Does not give anything more specific, so that could be anything from a bad wiper or burnt out turn signal, to belching smoke. That can cause major headaches at resale time.

The Rubi tires last forever too. I just replaced mine with 54,000 miles on them. They had another 15,000 on them at least. I sold them the same day I took them off.

The Procal is a definite must have, but be careful about turning off any safety features of your vehicle. Depending on your location, it could be a ticketable offense at least up to impoundment or worse. The TPMS is a Federal requirement for any new vehicle after the 2007 model year to be used on U.S. roadways. Unless you trailer the Jeep everywhere, get the sensors. Some states with inspections can and will fail you, which can cause expensive issues then and in the future.

i actually did look into the AEV module but figured i could deal with the DING instead of dropping the 130+shipping or whatever it is..... besides, i think the rubi tires with the sensors already in them is a much better option over getting some sensors lol
now i just need to get this deal to go through with this guy i'm getting them from. i'm giving him a fully spec'd early 2008 17inch macbook pro(spent $4k on it back in march of 2008 but i have 2 other computers and its just collecting dust) for the brand new 2010 wheels/tires plus another $650 since i don't have any cash.
thats the deal on the table, he's thinking about it, i hope he realizes what a deal he's got and just gives me the damn wheels.... lol.
