Hi all, wanted to get some opinions for wheels. I am set on black satin or glossy wheels, aluminum preferred. The jeep has 1" body and 1" suspension lift. Currently have 31's on 15's from before it was rebuilt and I am not looking to update. I believe I want a tire that is 32 total inches, but I don't want 32x11.5...too wide. I'm thinking more like a LT or SUV tire since 95% of the time it will be driven on the street and only occasionally taken on some dirt roads or some sand.
Anyway, wondering a few things:
Backspacing: what is the range of backspacing that I can get away with on an other wise stock Scrambler drivetrain?
Opinions 17 vs 15....mostly ridden on the street. Drivability is important.
Width...assuming an 8" wide rim is what I'm after here. Any reason to not do that?
Tire size? What LT/SUV type tire is going to get me to 32" on a 17" wheel?
Sorry for all the basic questions, but I did almost the whole restore myself without any issues, but it's the aftermarket stuff I just don't want to get wrong.
