They are stock wheels from an '03 Wrangler....15x8 Canyons
And yes, fullsize spare Steve. My current 28" tall spare doesn't really help when you are running 31" tires

Oh, don't worry. My Jeep gets dirty whenever I get the chance. I have beat BFG All Terrains mounted on 15x7 Grizzlies on the Jeep now (as seen on FQuick), and I was looking for something a little more aggressive without going to a full mud terrain. These fit the bill, and although they are an off-brand (Tempra) they are made in the same factory as Coopers and seem to get good reviews across the 'net.
The new wheels are 15x8 Canyons and the tires are the same size as my BFGs: 31x10.5x15s.
Here's a decent pic of the wheels / tires that are on the Jeep now: http://www.njfboa.org/JustinImages/CMSP/IMG_0054.jpg

Yea, the ATs on mine are too....but that's partly because the front alignment appears to be shot. Gonna have to correct that too.
So....when you wanna go find some dirt to play in?

Come talk to me when your a kid again and make the amount of your mortgage payment in 3 months :P
I hear ya I still wish I didnt make my truck so big. Honestly if I did it all over again I'd build an s10 blazer, solid front axle on 33's or 34's. Im just glad its almost done.

You should mount the spare tire to the hood like those old Land Rovers

I've owned the truck for over a year and only washed it once.....the chances of "clean" pictures are slim to none.....
I will take some before and afters though

Haven't decided what to do with the spare yet. I have a Yamika roof rack (in the shed now) that I could get a spare tire mount for, but the rack itself costs me about 1.5 mpg, i'm sure a tire in it would push it to 2+. Can't afford a rear bumper / tire carrier yet either. Spare will prolly just sit in the back for the time being.

Lol be careful with not washing it. When I had my toyota (red) I hit alot of clay mud and it literally stained my paint.

Yea, it has a little bit, but I don't mind. Some of the paint is in really nice shape, like this: http://www.njfboa.org/JustinImages/N...p/IMG_0334.JPG
some is not so good, like the hood: http://www.njfboa.org/JustinImages/N...p/IMG_0331.JPG
Those pics were taken the weekend I got it, July '07. The hood looks a lot worse now....

Anything bigger than 33's is too big for daily driving. I ran 32's on all my old Toyotas and that was a perfect size. But I prefer to have the raised white letters on the outside. But I also wash my vehicles!

You can see my rack in a some of those pics above, but like I said, it's off for now due to mileage reasons. I may put it back on though, we'll see how much of a pain it is to have the spare laying in the back of the truck.

Right now i have two 130w long range kc lights coming for the windshield. I'm looking at a different bumper on craigslist also with an two kc lights on it also. Plans are one inch body lift and put either 31's or 33's on it then eventually give it a three or four inch lift. With the other two cars and the credit card bill the last thing i needed was another money pit lol. but mudding is so much damn fun its worth it!
