Need some help picking out rims for 32\" tires

[GTJake]

there should be a tag on one of the diff cover bolts in the rear to tell you the gearing...

i reccomend Ryan_25 for the lift install if you cant find help

Alright... well I will crawl under it again later and look at the rear pumpkin.

While I won\'t be able to purchase the tires for a few more months... would it be silly to put the lift on anyway? :thumbsup:

I imagine I will need the services of someone like Ryan, as I do not have a garage... so Ryan_25, how busy are you? :)

[GTJake]

Id still put on the lift now.

[mavr1k]

@Wingman - any pictures of those rims?  And how much do you want for them?

[Wingman]

$150 with chrome center caps

Cragar 5-spoke

Ran for about one year, paint 95% or better, chrome caps cleaned up OK.

If you want real pics,  I can dig them out.

[Ryan_25]

I can make time whenever you get the lift and are ready to put it in.

[mavr1k]

Well, this is all I can see on my rear pumpkin:

43225
261   4
rev k
02 27 97

Is there something else I should be looking for to see the gearing?  Couldnt find any \"tags\"

[Crusarius]

sounds like the tag is MIA. next thing to do is the rotation test. how many times does the driveshaft spin for 1 revolution of the tires. might not be exact but will give you a close enough idea. other option is to open up the diff and count teeth.

[mavr1k]

Damn.  I don\'t own any jack stands to lift up the rear to do the rotation check.

[MrMindless]

if it\'s an open or limited slip, lift one tire and divide by two.  it\'s easiest if you mark both before starting.

[smichaelR22]

with a newer TJ isnt there some website you could run the vin to get the gear ratios?

just a thought, i have nothing to back it up with.

[mavr1k]

Yeah theres some \"decoding your VIN\" websites if you Google... but they dont seem to show the gearing.

I have requested the original build sheet from chrysler, but who knows how long that will take.

[mavr1k]

Just got my original build sheet...

Dana 30/186MM Front Axle
3.73 Axle Ratio
175MM Rear Axle


 :chug:

[GTJake]

you should start a post in the \"project build\" forum. just remember to take lots of pictures as you build

[mavr1k]

@GTJake yup I think I have all the info I need to start doing my mods now...  if only cash were the same way.

@Wingman 4 rims or 5?  Can you bring them to the club meeting next week so I can examine before deciding to buy?

Too bad treadwright seems to be out of stock of every 33\" tire at the moment.
