well, how are the on road manners and how do they grip?

All I did was put them on and drive them into my backyard.
I have the same tires only smaller on my black jeep, and the consensus is:
good

Looks like Kyle's jeep

Kyles Jeep is a WK

New shoes, now time to deal with the running issue and my stripped starter bolts







And they are eco-friendly to boot.

Boring. Ill sell you some really nice steel wheels, no dents or anything. Even made out of gold but painted black over top

[Kyle]

Meh, i always thought the mambas had the dish like tj moabs and thinner spokes the jk. Either way it will be bad ass.

[HeavyMetal]

Imho these are more like TJ moabs the JK moabs.

I always thought TJ Moabs have more of a dish to em, JK ones are more flat like the mambas we will see i guess

edit: searched around more and seems you may be right...i prefer the flatter look but im sure itll be fine. a deal with mamba would save me the hassle of finding TJ moabs in good shape for a good price

[Kyle]

Ok, guess it was just some idiot on another forum with bad info. Imho these are more like TJ moabs the JK moabs.

[HeavyMetal]

dont want TJ moabs..these are a bit of a different look.

plus it always helps to be able to work a biz deal for parts. not out of production as far as im aware, they are talking to me after all lol

[Burton58]

what would be wrong with an actual set of TJ moabs?

[Kyle]

I know all about the MR1s i wih i could buy them for my wk but i thought they were out of production?


Edit; shoulda bought my moabs and stts when you had the chance!! Lol woulda been the same specs but nooo you didnt want them...

[HeavyMetal]

What kind of wheels are you putting on the nittos?

Only ravines shall grace this emerald pearl wonder

I wish...

Nitto doesnt make a 35 or metric 35 equivalent for a 15 inch wheel. in fact the only 15 inch wheel tire they make is a 33x12.5

i am talking to Mamba Wheels about working out a set of MR1s.


They are essentially copies of JK rubicon wheels.

I would run JK rubicon wheels but theyre 17s and obviously wrong bolt pattern...the spidertrax adapters I run on the black jeep to run JK wheels arent wide enough for what I want on Heavy. so yeah.

these as 16x8 and 5x4.5. the tires are LT315/75R16
