hi everyone,
so i own a stock 08 WK.. 4.7L v8
I was currently running the stock wheels and fortera hl tires size 245/65/17s...
Unfortunately.. My WK got hit by a drunkdriver while it was parked..messed up my rear quarter panel pretty badly.. thats neither here nor there though... SO while it is in the shop, I needed new tires anyway and decided I wanted to go a bit bigger...I like to camp so even small trailing through the woods, I'd like the boost..and just for general eye appeal as well...
I decided to tell them to seperately make me up an invoice for some new tires a a 2" BB suspension lift to fit them.. I heard 265/70/17 were the norm with a 2" BB lift... So I got a good deal on a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3s 265/70/17s... and they are gonna do the 2" BB lift... I'm getting a bit concerned now, bc I've read things saying that the tires wont fit without wheel spacers??... I'm a total n00b, first jeep.. i know what a wheel spacer is.. but is this true? if so, how much are these spacers (assuming the 2 in the front) going to cost me?!... I'm already spending a lot on the lift and 4 tires ...plus i have to lay out my 500$ deductible from the accident....
So my 2 ?'s are...
Will I need anything else other than the 4 tires and the 2"BB Lift to be completely good?..I really can't be laying out a lot more money here..
AND
(might be a stupid question)..but can I use the 265/70/17 Coopers on my stock jeep wheels? I hear people talking about how they needed to switch to aftermarket wheels and now I'm really getting nervous about costs...
Please help... Thanks!
