1974 CJ5, 304v8... purchased 8/8/11
O.K., It's about time for some wheel pics....what do you run on your rig?
I plan to run these Hurricanes (15 x 10). I will be cleaning up with polished ridges and possibly body colored between ridges??? Picked up on Ebay for 125.00 for the set.
:chug:
 
I have aluminum alloy wheels. I don't know who made them. The PO installed them. One thing I don't like about them is they are too wide (12 inches). I have 36x12.5-15 tires and if I had narrower wheels or better yet bead locks I wouldn't worry as much about breaking a bead when I air down. I still go down to single digits but I would go down to 4 or 5 psi if I had beadlocks. I really have to go down low to get much sidewall flex

15x10 wagons, paid 40 bucks for the set...:D
 
These were on it when I bought it and still looking for a spare to match, old sawblade dircectionals. If any one sees one let me know!!!:)
 
Rockers 39.5 x 16.5 x17 mounted on H2s.

In the real world, (free standing/20 psi) 38.5 x 15 x 17. Should be around 37.5 when I get them mounted on the CJ.

Chrome wagons - the only place chrome is cool on a CJ!

"Dirty" chrome :cool:

Only think I don't like is I think they are too wide, so when i slide off a rock it will bend the inner or outer rim ridge.

Also as BusaDave said, I worry about airing down and loosing a seal on the trail.

I ran across a set of these and had to have them. a set of 5 for a pretty good deal. :D came with a good spare for my dads Yj also

Those are what I'd like to have someday, seen several sets in Pa, during my build, but the price was not right, lol.. Nice find!
