Cheap wheels for big tires ?

[Explosive]

I plan on running a 6 inch lift with 33x12.50 mts in the future, but need a wider wheel then stock and really don't want to spend a ton on wheels, any suggestions ? This is an off road only vehicle, as of now I have these trailer wheels,

All suggestions welcome, thanks.

I would go to best one tire............ (I'm biased I have a buddy that works there)

and see if they have any blemish wheels....... all black wheels are dirt cheap to begin with. Mine were 550 in mint condition.

Best one tire ? What are the blemished wheels ? Scratched ? I don't want to deal with slow leaks from a bent wheel.

They can't legally sell anything thats not safe..... or in good functioning order.

Yeah it'd just be a scratch.

Best One must just be a local tire shop then.

What pattern are these ? 5x4.5 ?

Yes they are 5x4.5, I'm sure you could search craigslist for some wheels for pretty cheap and seeing that you are from MI, check around on greatlakes4x4.com. Since Jeeps have the same bolt pattern you should be able to find a set of steelies for around 100-200 dollars.

i bought some black daytonas for 66 bucks apiece. And i actually think they were nice! they are in my picture <-----

Get on craigslist.

About a month ago I sold a set of 15x9 5x5.5 American Racing steelies for $45

The deals are out there, but the good ones go quick so check often. You'll probably have better luck if you search "jeep wheels" or something to that nature, since they bolt up and are more common.

About how wide of a wheel should I have for a 33x12.50 ?

 

[Explosive]

Also, I have no clue for offset/backspacing what I should go with ?

I have a set of rims that might do what you want. I'll have to go measure them to be sure, but I know they were originally on a B2, so they will definately fit, and I think I've seen 33X12.50 on them before. The wheel guide in the tech library says they are 15x7.

I was looking at this wheel, but my friend says a 10" wheel is technically too wide for 12.50 tire, is this true ??

They'd be like $251.00 shipped which I'm good with.

no 10" is what i have on my b2
but you can use 8 to 10 and be safe

Tire Rack says the 10" would be the right size. I've got a set but only 8" wide, never used that were going on my BII.

Ok, he has a jeep Cherokee with 33x12.50R15 Baja claws on some american racing wheels that are 10" wide and he said they are really too wide, just wanted to be sure, I think I'll go with the 10" wide.
