  • wheel/tire shenanigans

    so i hate my KM1s, always have. i broke an alloy rim.

    so, i'm gonna get new tires regardless, but throw me some opinions here. if i get 15x8 steelies, i'd prob jump to ~3.75 or 3.5" backspacing for more wideness, 15x7s would be 4.75 (which is where i'm at now). skinny toyos are 190, skinny km2s are 166, 12.5 toyos are 195, kevlars are 200. allieds are $160 each.

    1- breaking the alloy was a fluke, and you'll prob never do it again if you dont drive 40 mph into 6" holes with 4" thick ice blocks at the edge.

    2- if you had steel, you wouldve been able to bend it back, and you prob wouldnt have blown the tire on the trail.

    3- ^^ same

    4- overkill? awesome? not worth the money? i'd be scrounging hard to get enough cash for this one methinks.

    12.5 km2 on a 15x8 steelie. steel wouldve bent a lil bit and maybe wouldve held air?


    EDIT: and ditch the spacers!

              fluke/just a rarity

              i broke an alloy rim last january, never bothered me

              either way run whatever you want...i feel they both still have their advantages...and i still think black steels are ugly generic wheels..one stand out about your jeep is the ecco wheels, i wouldnt wanna lose that

                        go km2 12.5's. keep the alloys. 15X7 u can air down more with less risk of loosing a bead. its not your daily anyway so tire wear is less of an issue

                        3 yj's

                          id just keep alloys, how much out are you for one ecco realistically? steel is cheap, but old OEM wheels arent exactly pricey either

                          how many eccos have you broken previous?

                          i chose option 1.. a 15x8 steel on 33x12.5 muds will make your jeep the same as everyone elses..dont get in over your head financially getting beadlocks and new setups just cuz.
