Anyone need JK wheels?

[Scoutman]

I know a lot of you folks have JK's with trailers. Would anyone be interested in a pair of JK rubicon wheels for their offroad trailer? I have a lead on a set of 5 but only need 3 for my trailer project and splitting the cost to break up a full set would be nice. They do have 33" bfg km2 tires on them already but with limited tread. They are local to me but I can arrange to meet within reason or ship. Wheels are 17"

Just throwing it out there to see if anyone is in the same spot as I.

Yes --- I've been looking for 3 and am in contact with a guy in NM.

The ProComp wheels I have on the trailer have 4.5" bs and the trailer-builder didn't take that into consideration. I'd rather have 6" bs and a narrower tire.
I've been looking to trade my two wheels/tires (brand new) to somebody for 3 Rubi take-offs.

How much are you getting the 5 for and which 33" is on them?

Interested as well with about the same questions Bill has. Put me please in line behind him.

I can get them for $225 (will probably give $200) for all 5 tires/wheels. I believe he said the tires were 285/70/17 which is 32.7 tall and 11.22 wide calculated.

I want stock wheels unmodified to fit the trailer so I'll probably be running some wheel spacers on the 5 on 5 axle hubs. I have a large lathe if I need to modify the spacers to fit the hubs. I'll have to plug all these variables into measurements before ordering the axle length but I'm shootin to be close to the width of the JK within a few inches. ABC Trailer parts is about 45 min from my house

Oh truth be told I really don't need any of the tires so they could be up for grabs too. I just took 4 Nitto TG's 34" tires off my Ram 3500 that had about 30%+ tread left and was planning on using them. 3 for the trailer and 1 for a truck spare. We have KM2's on our XJ but I already have a KM spare for it.

I'm waiting to hear back from the guy in NM. He's got a lifted Sahara and is concerned about his wheels sticking out past the fenders and getting tickets.

Michael --- how many do you need? It's a good price regardless... But I'd like 3 so I have a spare (if the NM guy falls through). The 8-lug wheels for the PW are insanely expensive.

I have 5 2010 Rubicon tires and wheels available and the shocks too. The tires have 2500 miles on them. These are the original tires and wheels.

Yup, price is good. Ultimately I also would like to have 3, but I'm in no hurry as it will be for my next trailer. So I take them one at the time if I have to as long as the price is good. Stock Rubi wheels with stock tires would be preferable.

 

[Scoutman]

IIRC the guy said they were KM2's but that size has me wondering if they aren't the BFG's that come stock on JK's. I'll get by there in a day or so, maybe this weekend and probably pick them up.

I'll post picts when I do.

I was wondering what you did with yours... ...you're mighty close too...

Need two ProComp wheels with new tires?

 

[Scoutman]

So the set of 5 from cjlewis plus the set of 5 from me gives us enough wheels for each of us to have 3 (with one left). Sounds like it would work out for all.

Especially since CJ lives 10 minutes from my office... :ylsmoke:

I still didn't hear back from the Taos dude.

No need for the ProComps. Let me know if your interested. I was keeping them incase the Jeep didn't work out for me, but I'm all in now :victory:

How much do you want for the one?

17-inch for the JK, right?

I don't need the tire, if that makes any difference..

They are 17" but I really want to keep/sell them all. Preferably locally as shipping is expensive. Package deal ($500) -- 5 rims, 5 wheels, no TPMS, wheels are not mounted.
