Need A Full Size Rim

[davidfkon]

Driving mostly highway/city, but if I see something I want to be able to take it down or go right through it.
GY Wrangler SilentArmor or TOYO Open Country?

That size should not get any rubbing at all. Basically if you stay under 31.5" diameter you will be ok.

My 2 cents:
Ebay is the best place for used rims, just have to keep checking. That's where I got mine. I liked the look of the 10 spokes better, so bought a set of 4 of those. Then found a single 5 spoke for the spare later.

I would prefer a Land Rover rim, but the point is well taken that hopefully you won't really need the spare often, so if you can save $100, you might as well. I have an LR rim personally. Selling point for me was the bead locks that are standard on LR rims.

Also, on the tires, anything with a total diameter larger than 31.5" is going to be tough to impossible to squeeze in. That's what I've got (285/60/18) and I have to deflate it to make it fit.

I'm looking for a 5-spoke 18" to make a set of five. I'd like to add the spare to my rotation for longer mileage out of my tires and it'd be nice if they all looked somewhat alike.

I see a lot of the 10 spoke 18"s available as singles on fleabay....I'll buy one if you'll consider a swap 10 for 5 and I paid all shipping.

PM me if willing to talk a deal.

Not sure of the time frame but I will have 3 18" stock 10 spoke rims after mine come back from the powdercoating. One has some cosmetic scuffs but otherwise structurally sound. The other two have standard wear but really no scuffs or scratches. Probably about $100 each plus shipping. Looking at about 60 days or less.

Are you still up for this?

I always use this one. It's the easiest and best I've found and allows you to compare many sizes side by side.
