Pic of White Jeep w/black wheels?

Jun 12, 2005 14 Replies

Hi Everyone;



I was hoping you guys could help me out a bit. I have a white 97 YJ Sport with Grizzly rims (15 x 7 I think?) and P225/75R15 tires. Well it's time for new tires and I'd like to make things look a bit "cooler". Anyway, I've been thinkng about getting the AR767 black wheels. I've been talking to a local store that does lifts etc. on jeeps. He recommended I get the AR767 15 X 8 wheels with BFG AT



31/10.5 tires.

So, I was wondering if anyone has a picture of a white Jeep with black rims. Also, do you think that combination will make much of a difference in filling up my wheel wells? I don't think I have the cash for a lift at this point since I have 3 kids in college (it's like an open artery of cash flowing out).



Thanks for your help!

Do it. hth, n.

Black is blah. It's so 'in', it's out. Your white Jeep will look far better with white wagon wheels:

Aside from color, the shop's wheel & tire recommendations are good for your 97 TJ (you wrote YJ but you meant TJ, right?).

If you have a '97, then its a TJ, not a YJ. If it has coil springs, then it's a TJ, if it has leaf springs, it isn't a 97, it's earlier, and then it is a YJ.

with Grizzly rims (15 x 7 I think?) and P225/75R15 tires. Well

That would look hot, or cool depending on how old you are.

If you really have a YJ, then those tires will be a tight fit, but they should be fine in a TJ.

Thanks everybody for the pics and advice. I did screw up - it is a 97 TJ.

By the way I'm 47 so, I guess I'll have to settle for "cool" instead of "hot" :)

I wasn't bad mouthin ya, Ben. Everyone hasta start somewhere. n.

31 x 10.50s will fit under a TJ with stock rims. It'll be cool. My first choice would be chrome though, not black.

If I wanted the tires to stick out past the flares a bit, would it be possible to get 31's on rims wider than 15 x 8 without having to modify anything . If yes, any suggestions as to the proper rim and 31" tire widths would be appreciated.

Thanks Again

Sticking out is determined by the back spacing of the rims ; the more they stick out, the more stress you are putting on your wheel bearings and the more s*it will fly off your tyres.
