16x8 Rims for BJ74

KOZ_73 · 06-04-06, 03:52 PM

Wondering if these rims would fit on a BJ74

SIZE
WEIGHT
BOLT CIRCLE
BACK SPACE MAXIMUM

16X8 21 6-5 1/2" 3 5/8" 3100 LB

They're made by Mickey Thomspon, and work out to 3.625 in backspace.

TIA

I bought a set for my 70, I should see how they fit tomorrow, so I will report back

I don't see those listed, only 16" X 8" with 4.5" back spacing.

Where do you see them? Are you meaning the 15" X 8" wheel, which has 3 5/8" BS.

Thanks

-- very strong wheel - over 2X the weight rating of an aftermaket steel 15" wheel, which is 1,500 lbs.

Ok, I test fitted one wheel on the pass. front and it looks like a good fit. Clears the tie rod ends about the same distance as the factory 16" wheels. The lug nuts sit pretty tight in the wholes, and it could be a problem getting at if you are wheeling in mud and the lug nuts/holes get filled with mud and you need to remove a wheel. Maybe some kind of plug might be in order or just go getto and tape them up with aluminum tape when wheeling. Sorry, no pictures yet as they do not have any shoes on them yet.

They fit without rubbing the calipers or tie rod ends. I installed a set this spring with Interco SSR 285/75R16 on my 1985 BJ70 with 3" of lift and I'm very happy with the performance and look.

Do you happen to have any pictures you could share?
