Awesome! I might have overlooked it, but what wheels did you end up getting?

Can't wait to see pics of the tires mounted. I am waiting on two of my wheels to show up (damn UPS) and mine are 15x8 with a 4.5" backspacing. I will be adding 2" shackles and cranking the torsion bars a bit and am going to stick with 30x9.5x15's and hope I will get by without rubbing. I should have went with the 15x7's now. Was going to get 31's but decided against totally hacking up my fenders.

i would have liked to go with 4.5 or even 5 on the backspacing, but that is all that is offered with this wheel, nothing short of being custom made, not alot of wheels that work with this suv, but i figure the added trackwidth will improve handling, hopefully i can get by with no to minimal trimming, but i'm sure with my luck that will not happen, so i am prepared to cut, i will post some pics when i get them installed, and wouldn't ya know it we got 5 inches of snow last night, and my tires are sitting on the porch...lol, waiting on rims!

Yeah waiting for parts to come in always sucks.

I am undecided between the BFG's or the General Grabber AT2's. The price of the Grabbers appeals to me and it seems they got good reviews. Both tires look fairly similar as well. Let me know how the BFG's work out for you when you get them mounted.

one thing i did like about the bfg's is the tread life, of all the reviews they seem to last a really long time, i paid about $162 a piece locally with road hazard waranty, and picked them up yesterday, now just need them wheels.....i ordered them from 4wheelparts.com, they had free shipping on wheels, but will definately post pics and give them a good trial!

Not a bad price at all. Everywhere I have looked the Grabbers are on back order. Going to call a couple of tire places tomorrow to see if they can get some though. If not, I will go with the BFG's.

I ordered my wheels and a couple of other things from 4 wheel parts as well. They were to send 6 packages (4 rims, a pair of Hella 500 driving lights, and a set of Rancho 5000 shocks.) I ordered everything on 1/21. I received the lights, shocks, and TWO rims on 2/4. Just found out today my other two rims are still down in Texas due to "adverse weather conditions". Not sure why they were split up. Hopefully they will be here shortly, ha. Hope you get yours soon!
