Question for all you guys. Found a local guy selling some wheels off of a JK. First off, will they fit my 01 xj with that bolt pattern? Also they are 33x12.5x17. Would I have any rubbing issues on a 4.5 in lift? They are pro comp mud terrains and they have 75% tread left. He wants $650 for the whole set of 5 wheels and tires. Is that price fair? Thanks for any feedback!

I was looking on rough country's website, and they say that even with a 3" lift i cant fit 33's? I wanted to go like 3.5" or 4" but i cant even find those heights on the site at all lol. I want to be able to run 33's on some 15" wheels...do i need spacers for that?

So I need to get wheels (preferably bead locked) with enough backs spacing to EVENTUALLY run 37 inch tires, but I will be starting at 33 inch tires and increasing sizes as I build up my rig to handle the larger sizes, with all that in mind, how much back spacing would be recommended. I only want to buy one set of wheels

Just my 2c would have saved me a lot of $$

Adapters are like $200minimum and that's if you can even find the correct adapters. I'd just run regular wheels until the axle swap, then get the beadlocks.

X2 max i would run on stock axles is 35s. I beat the **** out of my stuff so I'd rather have 44/9 that 30/8.25.
I mean you could make super stock axles
But I'd rather spend the money on something that's stronger from the get go.

Who has a BDS belly pan on there xj?? Did it go right on because im having a hell of a time getting mine on my jeep.. It seems to be hitting right where the upper control arm mounts are against my frame.. But it looks like its just a overhang where some spot welding was done in the factory and i could bend it out of the way.. Ill have to move some brake/fuel lines if i go that route.. But i want to know if thats the case for everyone or no.. Trying to make progress on my project but keep hitting snags.. Thanks for the help.
