Hey guys, recently purchased a stock 92 YJ, 307 gears, with 235/75/15's and stock rims.
From what i've read i can easily put 30 x 9.5's on. Thinking of getting new black rims 15 x 8 with 4" backspace also, do you think that's o.k.?

It's mostly for a little better look, I won't be doing any hardcore wheeling.
You think I can sell or trade in the 235's w/rims? I've never tried that before, they've only got about 1000 miles on them.

Click to expand...

you could probably sell or trade them to cover at least part of it...

Galloways takes trade-ins...and I think Discount Tire will also give you something for decent tires...

15x8 w/ 4" BS would be fine...

the 235/75R15's are roughly 28.8" in diameter, so you won't feel a huge loss going up to 30's...

one place to consider selling the tires/wheels is the smaller "mom-n-pop" car dealers...I bought my '01 from one of those, and sold them the tires and wheels back for $300, since I was lifting it that weekend...they'll buy them to put on a Jeep they buy at auction...

Yeah i want new rims too. Something like Cragar soft eights, < $50.
Where is Galloways? You guys recommend anyone around the triad for good prices and trade-ins?
Maybe this should be in the commerce section? :beer:
