Just picked mine up today from the local America's Tire in Bakersfield. Great bunch of guys. The wheels were on back order but got them in less then a week and had to transfer the BFG KM2 for 2 different stores.
2" full traction leveling kit and chopped stock fenders, fits damn near perfect. i will have to do some trimming of the stock rock rail and pinch seem before i take it off road though.
Also just weight one of the wheel/tire and it comes in at exactly 80 lbs. So will the stock tire carrier work with this since the stock wheel/tire is 75 lbs?

So is this the final verdict I guess for the MB72s black finish?! That kind of sucks. My local Discount Tire messed up and gave my gfs set of rims/tires to somebody else, so then I ordered the MBs cause they'd try and give me a deal to make up for me waiting at the store for hrs and nobody telling me in the first place they messed up, but I can't wait a month so I guess it's a very unhappy gf now 
Sorry to hear about the mix-up!

Your set-up looks great!You should have no issues running your spare assembly on the stock tire carrier.

I plan on running the 33x12.5/15 Duratracs on 15x8 rim.
Any issue with this width "grabbing" on the expressway? I use my 2dr Jeep to pull my Jetski up north and want something that is stable on the e-way.

Thanks for the info. I think were in for some deep snow in Michigan. I want to make sure I have something that handles snow and will still perform at the dunes at Silver Lake in the summer.

The day has finally arrived. UPS delivered my wheels/tires.
The UPS guy in my town is a Jeep Guy. Who would have figured that one? I will upload some pictures when I get them on tonight.

16" MB 72's with some 315/75r16 Nitto Mud Grapplers...THANK YOU DTD!
I also have to add that part of my order was messed up and one wheel and tire came unmounted. Called up DTD and they are reimbursing the mount and balance fee with no hassle. My business will stay with this place! Great Customer Service and Speedy delivery even through the holidays!
