    Join IFSJA or FSJN and get a modest discount from BJ's.

    They are a good business - responsive to their customers, and trustworthy. However I wonder if 4" backspacing is optimal for our CJs. Pretty sure the CJ wheels (and maybe the factory FSJ wheels) have a little less backspacing than that.

    If you want steelies, I would try them first. They probably have an arrangement with a wheel builder, and may be able to get you exactly what you want.

    Those aren't stock wheels, they are 15x8.

    They fit, I should have put them on a few years ago.

    Well almost, I have 2 mismatched wheels so only 3 went on.

    Red and gold.

    I have a set of KH 15x 5 1/2 wheels that were widened to 9 inches. :twisted:

    Too bad the lug nut holes are wallowed out.
