5" back spacing with a +12 mm offset I believe.

That is from a quick google search of the TJ Rubicon MOAB Wheels.

And another one says 12.7 mm

Then my wheels might not work for you they are 16x8 +25. That would move the wheel into the fender well more and if you're already rubbing it could be worse with my wheels.

[Duck Vader]

Oh ya. Definitely won't work.

Seriously debating on just buying some cheap steelies so I can increase my tire choices.

[Chris GTO TT]

I've got some 1.5" spacers I could toss in lol

[Duck Vader]

I do still have the factory 15x7" ones...

31's fit on those nicely.

[Duck Vader]

Yes they will, and for cheaper than the 245/75.

Problem is they have been sitting in the back yard getting rusty. Time to go clean them up.

[ChargerX3]

Sand and powder coat them whatever color you like.

That is the plan. Just removed the valve stems now and letting the air out. Then might take them to a local shop to have the tires removed.

[Duck Vader]

So this worked.

That looks like a lot of hard work. Ever try driving your car tire over the bead of the tire instead? Makes quick work of it.

Here is a crappy video to give you an idea.

Only have low profile cars. Jeep is out of commission right now too. Started taking things apart.

Keep the wheels as they are imo. Looks good.

[Duck Vader]

I'm just going to swap back the old ones for now. Tires are much cheaper and easier to get for a 15"

Should still work the same. Just needs pressure from your tire rolling over it.

[Duck Vader]

Probably, but what I did worked. 1 hour later all wheels were free.

Debating on what color to paint the old steel wheels. Going to go the cheap route and just take a wire brush to them to get most of the rust off then spray paint them for now. It would be cheaper to buy new wheels than pay someone to sand blast and powder coat them.

[Duck Vader]

Thinking maybe a gunmetal gray?

[Duck Vader]

Here is a pre-lift and pre-painting of the flares pic with the old wheels. Quick photoshop of the front wheel to be dark grey.

Thoughts?
