Tire/wheel/lift Combo

Not our fence. It's at a nearby arts center in Uniontown, WA. It is a LOT of.wheels.

I'm running 1" hub centric wheel adapters that are 5.5 x 5 both sides. Spacers are not legal in all areas and the shortest you can safely machine the aluminum and hide the nut and offset stud pattern is about 1.25". my wheels have pockets between lug nuts so it clears.

If you run adapters you need the button head bolt conversion. Honestly every closed knuckle needs button head bolts

 

This. You can lose a wheel.
Happened to me once, thankfully I was literally pulling in my driveway!
Also saw it happen to a friend (FinoCJ) on a mountain trail....thankfully he was able to limp back to civilization after some "improvised " trail repair.

 

There’s a reason why many spacers are not legal to run in many States, even though they are commonly used. I have used a 3/16” spacer for a space-saver spare to clear a front rotor, but thats the only example I have ever used.
I have had studs strip out of a closed knuckle on a Willys Wagon, but it happened on a dirt trail going under 20 mph. I have modified two sets of knuckles with headed grade 8 bolts (modified heads). This was before button head Allens were readily available.

Yeah, I was towing a cattle trailer behind my J-2000. Miraculously, the wheel fell off right in front of the barn, not on a highway.

 

Same Jeep with 31x10.5 & 33x12.5 both on 10" wide rims with 3.5" of backspacing and a 25-year-old sagged out Rancho 4". The 33x12.5 rubbed a lot so I put some 31's on it I had lying around. What actually worked the best all around was when I had a set of 33x10.5's on the factory option 7" wide aluminum slots, which is the last pic.

 

If'n it's posted in the early tech section... you gonna get an early CJ5 answer because I swear I read it's a 57.

 

Here's my 75 with a 2.5" Rough Country lift and 31x10.5 Mickey Thompsons. It did require a double cardan driveshaft.

 

Nice Jeep!

 

Pay attention to your rim back spacing. The first set of white spoke Wagon Wheels I had came with a back spacing of 1 3/4". Years later I bought another set, due to rust, from Cragar, they had a back spacing of 3.5". I returned them and Summit was able to find another set of American Racing rims at 1.75. It's like running with 2 inch spacers
This is the only pic I could find that, Kinda, shows it.

 

33x10.5r15 General Grabbers, p/s, 4.88s (I think). 2.5" lift, I think skyjacker. Very versatile, and taller without feeling too tall imo. I'm sure the rears would rub in the wheel wells, but dad doesn't usually wheel that hard. I find that compared to my 68 CJ with 31s and no lift, 33s with 2.5 will do most anything I want without needing more upgrades.

 

Do you have an intake snorkel to match those exhaust stacks??
