For the "Wheel installation kit" IS there any way we can get black lucgs instead of chrome?
Also if we are just ordering rims do we get a forum discount?
Also whats the best width to get for the stock rubicon tires, but maybe thinking about going bigger (wider) down the road.

Not too much fun is the nice way of saying it.
No matter what, though, I've told the wife, as long as us and our 3 kids are together, we can make it through whatever life throws at us. It might take a bit to settle into a new lifestyle, but we'll survive.
I just hate not knowing what's in store.
Thanks for the kind wishes.

Yes
The Gatlins have a Matte clear coat. It is not a powder coat so it can scratch. There is a clear powder coat out now if you would like to reinforce the finish. Call your local powder coater for information.

If you would like Black lugs, please tell your salesman. We have the Black Gorilla Lugs in stock.
These are only available in one width. 17x9 or 18x9. They are offered in two different offsets. If you plan on lifting your Jeep soon the -10mm offset would be best. Negative offsets will stick out beyond the fenders. If you are keeping your stock suspension or are running a mini lift with tires only slightly wider and taller than stock the +10mm offset would be best. Ask your saleman to double check your specific tire and application.

The -10mm offset on a 9" wide wheel will sit about 3.25" further than the stock wheels. This is in comparison to where the stock wheel sits, not to where the fender is. To figure out how far outside the fender it will sit measure from the face of the stock wheel, while it is on the vehicle, out 3.25" and that is where the -10mm 9" wide wheel will sit. (remember this does not take into account the tire). +10mm on a 9" wide wheel will sit out about 2.25" further than the stock wheels.
I estimate the +10 to stick out about 1/4", not counting the tire and the -10mm to stick out about 1 1/4" pasted the fenders.
Anthony has called his "Fellas" on you.
kidding of course.

The Discount is only offered though Discount Tire Direct. You can call the store and see if they will honor it. They may or may not, it is not a company wide offer.

working late tonight, and going to the State Fair tomorrow...leaving at 6 am...probably home after 11 pm....so it is gonna have to be Thursday at the earliest
I have unwrapped them...and at least put them up beside the Jeep as I came home for dinner....in chrome with the BFGs, they are a thing of beauty.
Matt had said I just need to call Gorilla for any extra keyed lug for the spare...but it looks like all of the lug nuts are keyed that I got....I got 20 of them...so I am guessing that Gorilla would sell me 3 more to mount the spare...correct?
