The wheels aren't too narrow, but you may get some rubbing on the LCAs due to the factory backspacing. May be able to get away with a set of spacers - just depends on how much you want the Canyons. If budget is what your priority is, then you are most likely better off just ordering a set of wheels with proper back spacing.

Right now it is a driveway queen
To be absolutely honest it will see more pavement than dirt. Once I have it road worthy it will be my winter daily driver, and in the summer I will be using it as my fishing, towing, and camping vehicle while my Stealth will get most of the regular road miles.

No, I don't lick fish.
The American Racing Baja 15x8 is among the least expensive set you're going to find at about 105 a piece... but they'll have the backspacing you're looking for. I used to run them, but I switched to steel because the aluminum like to bend.
The American Racing Outlaws aren't bad either at around 92 for the AR61's (no holes) and about 84 for the AR62s (with holes). But they're still not as good as the Cragar D-Window steelies at about 57 a pop.

Hello!!
My 00 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo needs new tires, they currently have good year tires size is I think 225 75 16 and was wondering what the best tires are? There are two types I see on the tire places one is asking if i want those type the 225 75 16 or 225 70 16. Any help would be appreciated. Also its a 4x4 if that matters.

SYE, CV drive shaft, steering etc. Long arms and a gear swap wouldn't hurt either.

When are sway bar discos useful? When do i need sway bar extensions. Basically tell me all i need to know about sway links and if you recommend me getting discos or just regular extensions. Im going 3'' on 33's with light trailing maybe moderate. It wont be a rock crawler or anything extreme. Just to get me over any hill I want.

At 3" and 33s, you won't have uptravel. You're gonna need to disconnect your swaybar and run proper bumpstops if you plan to drive over anything larger than a curb.

Like Frank said, discos are always good to have. You'll need extended links or discos at 3" anyway. Put some pressure on Justin to make another batch of Dukie Discos.
