Does any one know what options there are for 17inch rims on a 2000 xj
JY or cross reference ?

17" ZJ wheels should bolt on
IMO though stick with 15" wheels. You won't have to jump through hoops to run them, and tires are generally cheaper.

thats going to put more stress on the trans mount.
plus you can only go so high before the fan blades contact the shroud. When i installed my brown dog mounts, i noticed that the fan blades almost hit the shroud. idk if thats where stock was suppose to be due to my stock mounts were destroyed.

Leaf too short is a HUGE issue. I don't remember if it was you or not but there was a lot of denial from RC in the thread about the leafs being too shorts. Plus the same denial in the thread about the trackbar being incorrectly manufactured. I don't need to buy them. I'll stay in the bandwagon. It's comfy in here.

You still have the stupid factory box, that was never meant for a lift. Never get correct angles from it. That was the reason it wasn't a HUGE issue for me. Low-profile relocators were already in my build plan. No matter what leaf springs I use from now on can be more or less dialed to almost perfect angles. I dd mine as well as wheel it as much as possible, which is pretty much everyday because I am surrounded by endless trails filled with rocks and grand exploration. Basically, I beat the shiit outta mine on the daily, no sag, no killed leafs. It runs sounds and feels like a jeep.

instead of starting yet ANOTHER tire/wheel thread thought I'd ask here...
I'm going to be painting my jeep soon (its black) and I've been debating on wheels, I probably will only be adding a 3.5" RE lift down the road...
Whats a good size wheel 15x8 or should I stay at 7...??
is 4" backspacing sufficient?
my biggest debate is wheels, black or chrome??
what say you??

Quality?
Rock Krawler, Clayton, and TnT can't be beat. They're also out of most peoples' budgets. Rubicon Express and Iron Rock Offroad are good intermediaries.
If you plan to buy long arms, do research on IRO's Critical Path setup before buying. Also seriously consider Serious Offroad.
(See what I did there?)
