TJGladeRaider Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 I have started a new Jeep Project. I just bought a 2006 Rubicon and I have installed a suspension lift so now I need to figure out which wheel and tire combination to use. Although most people just buy whatever someone sells them, doing this right is actually more complicated than it sounds. I know the size and offset I need to maintain the factory steering geometry, but I am considering buying some teflon wheels and I'd like some idea how they would look before I spend the money. I don't want to put anyone to any trouble, but if the wizardry of Photoshop allows you to click "change this to this," it would help me make up my mind. Basically, I want to know, how would these wheels look on this Jeep? Unfortunately, there don't seem to be any photos of this wheel with the correct lug pattern so this is the best I could do. Like I said, I really don't want anyone to go to any trouble if this is complicated. I can always print the picture and use a dark gray sharpie on it or something.

TJGladeRaider Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Have you tried TireRack.com? Yep - that's what gave me the idea. Unfortunately, they don't have this wheel, or anything like it. Good idea though. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJGladeRaider Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 It's a little more complicated than that. /me fires up photoshop. I was kinda hoping you would! In fact, maybe I should send you a bunch of promo pics for my new web site . . . you can make me young, tall and thin. On the other hand, nevermind, I'm sure even magic has its limitations.

Pugwash Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 This is just a rough estimate. If you'd have sent me pictures of the rims face-on, it would have been easy. As it was, it wasn't easy. I decided not to shade the rims with the shadows of the car as it was only a rough sketch. I did, however, paint the road in in the holes. Nowhere near perfect, but you get what you pay for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJGladeRaider Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Nowhere near perfect, but you get what you pay for. You gotta be kidding me -- that's freakin scary. A fella named Tom ought to send you a check - you just sold me on those wheels. Picture that same look with the tires almost 10% larger. I am going to use those wheels with BFG A/T KOs at 35x12.5x16. I really, REALLY like how that looks. Can you e-mail me a better res version of the pic than I can get by snagging that one from the post?

TJGladeRaider Posted January 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 That's as good as it gets because that's the highest res you posted. It's fine -- very very nice. Thanks for going to the trouble. Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pugwash Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 he could probably make this (genuine) look brand new! Hmm ... tough one. Yes, it's doable, of course, but a lot of work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 ...and I've just done the dial and bezel to give you an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
