I am very interested but I need to know what type of aluminum they are made out of and how long they have been used? I can do the research if you just give me the manufacturer. Pics would help too. Thanks!

I bought them from Rover Accessories about a year or so ago.
They might have 5k on them. The reason I'm selling is to get 37's and beadlocks. I also have a set of 5 315/75/16 MTR's with about 90% tread on factory alloys for sale if anyone cares.;)

Ok, cool, I will take a look. How come you are not using them with the 37s? Just curious.

I'm just going to get wheels with the correct offset and use trailready beadlocks.

David, the factory rims are around 5.75 backspacing, and look supper cool with the 1in spacers. The rover accessoies claim to have a lifetime warranty. I have some 8x16 steel rims with 4.25 backspacing, and if you added a 1inch spacer to them, they would stick way out of fenders. The spacers work well with 7x15 steels though.

Yeah,

I would be interested in running them with my 15x10in 4in backspacing wheels to kick the tires way out there. I don't enjoy rolling over unless I want to. Thanks though!

yep, they would be way out there if you run a 15x10 wheel with only 4inch backspace plus a 1inch spacer. I would bet you might be rubbing some metal on upper area of fender cutout, during heavy articulation. ask yousef about 15x10 beadlocks without spacer, and check his bio for a photo.

Thanks,

I already have the wheels and tires mounted and do not really want beadlocks because the only ones that are DOT approved are a fortune. Plus, there is no wheel manufactere that will make a 15x10 wheel with 3in backspacing without a lot of coaching. The spacer would be the way to accomplish it. As for the metal on the top of the frame. The rear end actually travels far enough in both directions that it still tucks inside the fender flare, I need to do some more measurements but it might help clear the front end hitting at full stuff and lock on the inside of the wheel well. 37s are hard to fit in the front with tire hitting the top of the fender!

It looks like I don't need them. Sorry, good luck!

All I can say about my wheels is that they ate my fenders and they are still eating my fender even after trimming. There is always something new. 15X10 with 4" back spacing stick out enough, and I don’t think you want any wheels that stick out farther then what I have.

Yousef,

All you need to fix this is:

cutting wheel

I just like a real wide track width. I just figured I have enough. Waiting for a real good 37x14.5 though.

I may be interested but I dont know if one inch would be enough. I have a 110 with old steel wheels with 255/85/16, and the front tires hit long before full steering lock out. I need a space the size of an abandon airfield to turn the thing around. Can I stack two sets on the front or would that be super sketchy??.
