Not liking it at all. I like the wheel design on the car, and it looks great from the side, but nothing about the fitment looks right or appealing in any way to me.

The front look like it's sticking out even more than flush.

Also, I was thinking the other day that this look has actually been done on a J before.
Chaz had some 19x9.5's stretched and flush. The rears were just slightly tucked, but the front is dead on flush:

Not knocking Chad's set up but he says they are "19x9.5 +35 offset (8.5" Bead seat)" which means they are really 19x8.5. The bead seat measurement is how rim sizes are actually listed, meaning my 17x9 rims are really 17x10 if you measured outside lip to lip.

Just to state it again, the suspension (Pro Kit) was unsettled in those pics, i almost didn't post them... I will post more pics this weekend with new lower suspenion on the car, i just bought some Eibach Sportlines i'll install saturday morning. It should look a lot better sitting a full inch lower than it did in those pics. If you want to see it in person come out to the J-BOM meeting this weekend!

I didn't go back and read that whole post to catch his clarification on the sizes. Funny that he would have had to know the actual rim size when he ordered, and I've never seen a wheel & tire place sell based on the overall width. They're always sold by what's stamped, which is the bead size. So it's a little odd that he would post the exaggerated size. Maybe he was just looking for the shock value. LOL. But the setup looked tits on that car.

the stretch is a bit too exaggerated IMO. the stretch makes the sidewalls look taller than they really are. a 225 would still be stretched on a 9" wide wheel.

i do like the wheels though and the concave look of the spokes!

i like the wheels and lugs....i think it will look better with the sportline drop
