[QUOTE="machoheadgames, post: 428152, member: 18789"] [B]New Wheels![/B] My parents are aware of the increased efforts I've been making to improve the YJ and get it to be fun to drive again. I had mentioned that I wanted to buy wheels to them, and when my birthday came, they kindly gave me a combined Christmas and birthday to go and buy them. Sweet! After years and years of debating which tires to go with, how high of lift, what size tires, what wheels, what size wheels, etc, I was set on Fuel Anzas in the 15x8 size. However, I found some reviews that weren't so great, and learned about how they can rust from all the fake beadlock bolts. I know of one guy who removed all the bolts on his, retapped the holes deeper, then installed stainless bolts. Cool idea, but that's a lot of work for $200 wheels....I reevaluated my build plan, and after seeing a build thread by "JamesandtheSahara" on the TJ forum, decided I wanted the American Racing AR23 wheels. I decided I'm going with 33's as my max tire size and with them, I'm going skinny. I decided on BFGoodrich KO2s in 33x10.5R15 size, and 15x7 rims. When I received the money on my birthday, I made the order and went to pick them up at Summit Racing in Arlington that day. A fresh rim in the box...
