    I gotta know, what color is your Jeep? I really like it.

    I had a 72 Pontiac Lemans, but I was unable to locate a mixture for it. Napa did a lot of samples until they came up with it. It is a Chrysler color. I will have to check tomorrow what it is called.

    They should, depending on wheel and offset. I would think a 15x8 wheel with 3.5"-4" backspace would be fine. I had some 265 75 15 tires on my A1 when I got it mounted on 15x7 Ford rims with the centers torched out in the front and they worked fine for moving it around the yard...

    Yeah the BFGs do look good. They have a very classy look to the lettering. The larger white letters that are just outlines do not look good to me.

    I currently run 31x10.50 15 Swamper Truxus MTs because I had them laying around, on white steel International Scout plain wheels with a 2.5 or 3 inch (can't remember) BDS lift. I love the lift, rides great, flexes fantastic. I will go with a 33x10.50x15 in the future, and I am trying to get some time to make shackles and spring hangers that are 1 inch taller than stock. I like the way Mike C's Jeep looks with the BFG's in the 33 1050 size.
