    Found a smoking deal on a set of Mammoth wheels and Sumitomo tires from a guy on facebook

    Mammoth Jeep Wrangler D-Window Beadlock Gloss Black Wheel; 15x10 J142008 (97-06 Jeep Wrangler TJ) (extremeterrain.com)

    Sumitomo Encounter AT 31x10.50R15 Tires | ATH44 | 31 10.50 15 Tire (bbwheelsonline.com)

    the wheels are 5 x 4.5 lug pattern so that should work.

    I have a 2wd 5 lug and plan on putting on a level kit on the front and AAL on the rear.

    Concerned about the width of the wheel and the offset more than anything else.

    I have been searching but would like a definitive answer before driving an hour and spending the $$$$$$$$

    Thanks yall!

    For the backspacing at 3.7 in you may need a small spacer to clear the calipers. 5 lugs typically shoot for around 4in bs so you might need a 1/4" spacer and some extended lug nuts.

    As for the offset I've personally ran -44 mm offset with 235s and they fit fine. It's only when you go bigger where it may rub. I was going from 235/75/r15 to 33/12.5/r15 and ended up getting some cragars which were -13mm offset and looked very similar to those minus the bedlock look. You could always ask if you could try fitting one before buying sometimes people are chill enough and get the whole wheels and tires finding fun. If you fit one go lock to lock and pretty quick you'll know if it'll fit enough or not. As alway post some pictures whenever you do upgrade :thumbsup:

    Edit: Also don't forget the Blackbox mod no matter what.

    Here's my old thread with some different pictures

    Thanks for the response. The guy seems cool so maybe I will try a front on but I don't have the level on yet so I know its gonna rub like hell, but I can at least check the caliper.

    When I was working towards 33s it was obvious lol

    with 31s I don't think it'll be that bad if there even is a problem

    So that does that mean a better ride? Don't really need any more weight capacity.

    They both provide the height and load increase but the longer ones seem alittle softer from what I understand.

    I did go with the Fat Bobs kit and it is fine.
    They forgot to send the rear shocks ( they did overnight them) but I haven't gotten around to putting them on. Also there was some nuts missing out the kit that they overnighter to me. Just check the kit out when you get it and way before you plan to do the install.
    I also went with one piece billet hub centric wheel adapters ( $300). And switched the lug pattern to newer jeep 5 lugs, as I can get brand new takeoff sets of wheels and tires for $500.

    Hey there Familyj, what size adapter did you go with for your setup. I plan on doing the same setup with a set of Jeep 17" knockoffs and don't want to order them any thicker than I have to.
