new wheels

Ew.

Nice. 16" or 17"?

SatiricalHen

16s

SatiricalHen

Don't like them?

Ralph77

Not having to use the adapters is nice.

SatiricalHen

That was my plan with getting the TJ wheels instead of the JK ones. Hopefully I can get some tires that fit well in a 16

I like the factory wheels. I have Eccos on my Jeep. Which I like. Those 16' Moabs don't come around to much in my area. And usually people want a few bucks for those when they do. I would run those. But 16' Icons are more available and so much cheaper. I have some I picked up awhile back. Plus the Icons go along more with my Limited/Country/Up Country/European Orvis clone I am shooting for. Plus mine '00 is just a DD.

Yes! I can't remember the thread pitch off the top of my head. There are a few of those modified p/n rods on eBay, but I originally thought about grinding down the ribbed one and running it through a die.

Ralph77

If you remember the size and thread pitch could you post it? Already bought the rod off Ebay.

And personally I think 16" icons look way better than Moab's

SatiricalHen

Aren't those skinnier with a higher backspacing?

XJwonders

No clue. I would just go with whichever looks good and make it work one way or other

SatiricalHen

I like the silver on red and these are 16x8 with 5" backspacing. I think the icons are 16x7 with 5.25" backspacing. Wanting a wider bigger wheel that's still factory jeep and 5x4.5 and these fit the bill

Found the alternate I bought. Looks to be a 10-24 standard pitch
