I have quick temporary tire question for you gurus.
My jeep goes under the knife on the 29th to get lift, SYE/DS, shims etc... However, I want to have my new wheels/tires mounted before they do the lift so I only have to do one alignment (and preferably have it done at the 4x4 shop rather than the tire place).
Can I stick my 15x8, 3.75"BS wheels with 32"s on and DD it to the shop without any serious rubbing, grinding or any other issues? I'd literally be getting the wheels/rubber mounted and taking it down to the shop the next day without any wheeling or flexing.
'ppreciate it!

Thanks man. That was my initial thought was to bring my wheels with me and drive it on the stock wheels/tires to the tire place after the lift.
I just wanted to avoid the "lifted on stock shoes" look

Replacing bent rim?
I need to replace one of my Cragar Soft 8 rims (15"x7" - 4.25" backspacing), should I replace as a pair or am I good to just replace the one bad rim? I've had these rims for 5 years, my concern is the new rim won't have the exact weight/dimensions as the old ones. I also plan on repainting all the rims. What do you think??
