Moabs!!!

JeepJeepster · Nov 23, 2007

I cannot believe how awesome these rims look. If I knew they looked this good I would of gotten them along time ago!

I measured the new and old rims while I had one of each on the jeep and it seems that the Moabs stick out 1.5in more than the stock rims. I always thought it was only 1in, but it gives it one heck of a stance. handles alot better too.

Tons of room for the pinch weld and the foglight area.

Guys at the tire place loved those tires and both sets of my rims. He kepted talking about how those black rims would look great on some old Chevy he had.

Anyway, I cant stop looking at it! I love them..

Moabs are the best. So what are you gonna do with your 17s and 16" Cragars?
I assume you will make these your year-round set, since moabs work with TPMS.

Now you can just sell your spacers, cragars, and 17s and make lots of money.

I almost got these, but then the guy never turned up, so I bought the 17 tires.

JeepJeepster · Nov 23, 2007

Sell my spacers? I dont have any spacers. Ive been playing with the idea of getting some for those 17's but I dont really like them.

I think the cragars are already sold.. Ill hang onto the 17's.. Im not to sure what Ill do with them yet.

Now you just need some MTR's, or some type of MT

hyde · Nov 24, 2007

No, these are good. He doesn't need MTRs. ALthough I love the way MTRs look, they are not that functional in daily drives.

Blake, I thought you had spacers on cragars because of backspacing issue? I thought they wouldn't fit otherwise.. I was wrong, I guess.. So cragars were sticking out naturally, then...

Ok, get some BFG A/T's then....something with a more aggressive look to them. The Yoko's just dont have that mean look to them, IMO.

It does look really good...MUCH better than the Cragers IMO. It's amazing how much of a difference a new set of wheels can make in the look of a vehicle.

Looks good.

Let me know if you want to get rid of those 17s.

The moabs are the exact same as the Cragars. 16x8 with 5" BS. I was just talking with respect to the 17's and the moabs. Plus its been so long since Ive driven on the cragars Ive forgotten how well it handles.

Ive had the general Grabbers on there and while it makes it look more aggressive, the aggressive tread killed mpg and performance. I guess where the tread was so deep and soft it made alot more rolling resistance.

I like my yokohamas!

How are your tires doing Hyedipin?

AZKJ · Nov 24, 2007

Looking good!!! They are very popular out here in Arizona with the wheeling crowd. I'd loose the mud flaps before I went off road....

hyde · Nov 24, 2007

Got it Blake. These look really good. I wish the 17 Moabs were same bolt pattern as 16s..

They are doing pretty good. Comparing the tread depth of mine to your yokos, I got much deeper tread, but I have no difference in MPG like you complain. Plus mine are more blocky on the shoulders so they would look incredibly good with your wide setup idea.gif .

JeepJeepster · Nov 24, 2007

I cant really tell a difference between these tires and the stock tires, it was the Grabbers that gave all the trouble with gas and performance.

Glad you tires are working out. Im sure you will like them much better than those HP's in the snow!

hyde · Nov 24, 2007

Yeah, I am waiting for the snow.

_UnLiMiTeD_ · Nov 24, 2007

i got the same tires as jeepjeepster and i think they look plenty aggressive, i agree in the pictures they dont but in person i know mine look pretty mean.

JeepJeepster · Nov 24, 2007

I polished them up today and gave them a good coat of wax. They look as good as new now, I didnt thing some of the scratches would come out, but megs #80 and the mothers powerball made quick work of them. It probably just filled most of them in, but that metal flake sure came out! Ill get more pics tomorrow.

o8k · Nov 29, 2007

those do look good, i realy like the way the moabs look too...

now go get dirty and take some more pics

tommudd · Nov 29, 2007

Welcome to the MOAB wheel club Blake. I like mine a lot just the way they look and set in the fender.

MoladoGuy · Nov 29, 2007

Blake, what size are those Yoko's? You are correct that the MOABS look awesome on the Jeep. I am planning on trying to find a cheap set as well and dump the heavy Cragars. I'll also put on some new tires like Revo's or something with lesser tread than the BFG's. Hmmmmmmmm...The Yoko's do look good

All this is planned 1st quarter of 2008.

tommudd · Nov 29, 2007

Phil, start looking on ROF as well, I got mine a little ways above Detroit for a "real" good price with MTRs on them.

Marlon_JB2 · Nov 29, 2007

And people wonder why I cannot stand steel wheels...

Moabs!!!
