I was watching The Fast Lane Truck on Youtube where the fellas test their build in Moab.
I LOVE the wheels! Apparently, they used four spares and just painted them black.
I really like this look and I really want to replicate it.
I’m a Jeep noob so I have follow up questions...

Are there any “go to” sites for parts? Sound off and let me know your favorites. anyone have any issues with running on four spare wheels?
Does anyone know the exact specs so I can match up tires?(I’d like to run some 285/75/17s.) no lift.

They didn't paint them black, they come black. I have been debating going this route and painting them Gobi like the movie trucks. I like the wheels from Wheel Vintiques but I also like the holes in the factory wheels. I don't know the exact specs on the wheels but I believe they are 17x7.5. The Rubicon comes with this wheel with a 285/70 17 mounted so I know it will work just fine for you. When I brought it up someone suggested they might not be rated for as much weight but being a full size spare I can't imagine they would do that.
I think they look good. I'm an old Jeep guy and I am partial to steel wheels I suppose.

These wheels, Klever 10.5x35 tires and a Teraflex 1.5" spacer lift would be an awesome low $ build.

That would look great. Go for it and post pics!

Can't imagine the spare wheel not being able to support payload or tow weight, right?
What if you get a flat while towing your travel trailer with your family and gear packed in?

Anyway, at 7.5" wide and OEM offset/backspace, there are plenty of 33-35 inch tire choices out there. Cool idea.

I don't think anyone covered the other question for you. I always check AllMoparParts.com first if I am looking for OEM parts. They are a forum sponsor so go to the sponsor section and message them for a price quote. Not sure on wheels but they usually give you free shipping or something.

I like the spare wheel look as well. One of the reasons I'm running my steel wheels on mine. They came in black and I Iove the look. If they were a different color than black I'd probably not like them as much

Never heard of Klever. I'll have to research.

I am running the kendas and love them...for a 35 tire and only 10.5 wide they are awesome and a great price! I actually am working on a set of steelies with the factory 31” for looong road trips to save the kendas. Keep us posted on what you do. There are good threads for kendas our there

Found em'! $85 bucks each is a pretty good price too. May be able to get them to discount further if we do a group buy.
