    I'm putting 31x10.5x15 tires on my 1970 cj5 and was wondering if you guys have any recommendations on wheels and offset that will push the tires out a little bit and widen the base. I also plan on doing a disk brake conversion down the road and want to make sure there are no problems with putting the wheels on first. Thanks!

    Do you know what your offset is of the top of your head?

    I have a 70 with that size tire and generic 15x8 chrome spoke wheels.
    I think the backspace is 3.5" but don't take that as gospel.
    The tires just about line up with the edge of the body.
