Those must be aftermarket wheels. All the factory wheels are hub-centric. And my 2 sets have conical nuts as well.
There are 'rings' made to make aftermarket wheels fit the hub.

I used to like magnesium, until I moved to the beach. The salt environment causes oxidation and it slowly turns to powder. Even under a clear coat...But they are awsome when they catch on fire.

I guess im gonna say no for now then. Maybe once i get it on the road and can test things out before i buy ill stick with what i have. Thanks for the input gents. I spent the last 2 weeks gutting the interior. I think the previous owner let his 2 sheep dogs live in the jeep. It had about 2 inches of hair in the entire interior. Hopefully it warms up so i can start yanking the trans out.

im currently running 31's under a 3 inch lift and wondering what is the minimum lift height i can fit 33's under

Ok guys, I have a question. I have four very old 33 inch tires. (I'm guessing 15 years old, but they could be older) 2 Formula Desert Dogs and 2 BF Goodrich Radial Mud Terrain T/A's. I want to get some 33 or 35 inch tires, but before I do that I'd like to get a shackle flip kit for the rear and go SOA in the front. And that will take some $$$. SO, to get me by, would it be wise to put tubes in the two that don't hold air. (both tires leaked slowly, but one won't air up and the other I haven't tried to inflate yet.) If the one that I haven't tried WILL inflate, I may just use the can of slime I have here if you think that would be better. I hate to use the slime, since I hated having to scrape it off the rims whenever I worked on mower tires that had had it used, but I want these to last long enough for me to build up some cash.. Also, would you recommend using actual car tubes (if I can find them big enough) or using farm equipment tubes? Farm equipment tubes would seem to make more sense, since it would stand to reason that they would have a higher load capacity, right? Oh, and would you do all four tires? Or just the offending two?

All input greatly appreciated, TIA!

3-3.5 inches with trimming is pretty easy and still be fine on the street. I'm at 3.5 and 33s

Stock if you trim enough. I did 3"/33s a couple years ago when it was 'edgy'. You can do anything with an angle grinder.

sycoglitch

So true.

Its the basic of any jeepers tool box

xj_jacob

how much did you have to trim off

Slim357

5.5-6.5" if you dont trim. Im running 35s on 2.5" of lift.

Demonoid369

Wat???

NewKindOfClown

Had a plan for 44s on my Comanche with 4.5" of lift.

Here's 33x12.5 with no lift:





With 3" lift:





Very minor trimming (~1") in those pics

It's not an XJ, so don't beat me over the head with a rock!

I presume he's talking about his J10.
