Steel wheels for Jeeps?

Postby jonboy80 » Tue May 31, 2016 4:01 pm

Hi Team,

Anybody know where to source some steel wheels with a 5x127 (5"x5") PCD preferably in NZ? I'm looking for some 16x8s.

Regards,

JP

your local tyre shop should be able to get them,last time i priced them they were 90-100 bucks each for 15x8 and the 16s were about 20-30 more.thats was for white ones.

If these are for a 2012+ JK, be careful as they have bigger brakes up front from the factory. Without correct backspacing, 16" rims won't clear the calipers.

Grand Cherokee with same pcd are different.

Thanks Guys,

They are for a 2004 WJ/WG Grand Cherokee. The reason I'm after 16x8s is because I already have a spare set of 265/75/16s just need rims.

Try offroad specialties in Whangarei. He might have some.

Seems to be a hard size to find and bloody expensive.

Might cheaper to sell the tires and get a rim/tyre set in a different size. :shock:

Warren at www.4wdbits.co.nz might have/be able to source some? There's one beadlocked one on his site.
