18x9" or 18x10" wheels

[Smittty9785]

i got ahold of some 38x15.50x18 Nitto Mud grapplers for fairly cheap. now im having trouble finding a rim for the rig. im looking for just a 18x10 steel wheel. cant find them anywhere. anyone have some input on where i can find them. thanks..

with that size, your going to have to go aluminum. i have yet to see a 18x10 steel wheel

edit: im 95% the biggest steel rim you can buy is 17"

There are 18" steel wheels on the Charger/Magnum/Challenger platform, and on the Toy fullsize trucks, I believe, but neither are wider than 8", as far as I know.

Found these on Discount Tire- not exactly D Windows/Soft 8s, but if they're really that cheap, they might work for you.

yea 17x9 are the biggest i can find for steel. i mean im the asst manager at a tire factory and cant find 18x10 so im sure they dont make them. Im just picky and dont like a bunch of chrome on my rig. Im just looking for a basic wheel that wont snap or chack if i hit a rock. ive seen many many alloy wheels cracked from potholes. so i can only imagine what i will do to them if they are on my jeep.... i might go with the procomp extreme alloys. just the big holes...

found these for $99 each my price. so i think ill be picking these up.. asd far as the tires, i got them for $200 each and barley used. 38x15.50x18 Nitto Mud Grapplers..

tires 38x15.50x18

wheels 18x9

those will look great on your rig!

 

[Smittty9785]

thats what i was thinking. i got all the prices from napa to do the front and rear. completly rebuild them like i did to the 8.8. for everything its gonna be about $600 for front and rear. thats without the gears obviously. Most likely ill weld the front spiders and spool the rear.

If you like steering, welded front spiders probably aren't the best...

those tires fit good on those rims?

 

[Smittty9785]

yea they fit great but i never ender up running them.. I sold them back to my old shop.. waiting for my front end to be done then im doing 39.5"

 

[nyksrams]

where did you get those rims? i am looking at some 38x15.50 x18 tires and was looking for rims to fit them before i buy the tires.

it all depends on what axles you are running.. they might not make a 18 i your offset you might want for the axle you are running.. these were for a dana 44, 5 on 5.5" bolt pattern. if your running stock jeep axles, Your going to have to do some research on the wheels for your offset.. good luck
