    Can anyone here recommend a wheel and tire package that I can check out for my 1976 Jeep Cj5? Preferably something that goes with a set off all-terrain tires.

    I think your question is a bit too open ended to get any replies (and for a 76 cj5 needs to be posted in the correct forum). By 76, I am not sure what the OEM wheel size was exactly - most likely a 15x5 or so steel rim with around a 3.5" backspace (I think - at least it was for the earlies). There was probably an option for 16" rims....As for what you might want aftermarket, might depend on tire size you want to run. For stock height jeeps, with aftermarket rims, many run a 15x7 or 15x8 rim (with minimal offset) with 30x9.5 or 31x10.5 on 15 inch rim. Those rim and tire sizes are very common - so lots of choices. If you prefer a bit taller and skinnier look - which is a bit more vintage - then a 16' rim gives you more options with a 215/86/16 or maybe a 235/86/16 (might require a bit of a lift?).
