Found a guy around my area that's going to trade me a set of Mickey Thompson Classic III wheels for my current audio system in my jeep. And considering I only have about $100 invested in everything, I figured what is there to lose right? I'll post pics of them tomorrow when I pick them up!

For that basic cost you have into it.. that would def be a good deal, or so it would seem!!

It would actually come out to be a even trade if I hadn't gotten a discount from my buddy for the system! Lol, but since I straight piped the xj she's a little too loud and doesn't mix well with the bass

Ahh, just means you need more bass!! LOL.. I had 1 Alpine Type R 12 in the back of my XJ powered by a 500w Alpine amp.. Was perfect amount of bass, and still have that setup to put into my next XJ!! Then again I had a FM40 series 2.5" exhaust with a new factory replacement cat, which gave a nice sound to the 4.0, can't do straight pipe with the 4.0... then again I got the darn near straight pipe sound with the MBRP exhaust setup on my Hemi!!

She had some bump to her! I have 2 12" Sony xplod powered by a 500w rampage amp! But I like the sound of my 4.0 straight piped, just got the exhaust dumped after the cat with a turndown and it sounds amazing! I listen to more country and rock music anyways so the bass isn't a big loss to me

6095 As you can see they aren't in the best of shape, but nothing a good cleaner and some elbow grease can't clean up! But I have a question now, could my stock cherokee tires (235/75r15) fit these rims? They're 10 inch wide, and my tires come right at 9.25. Would the stretch be a bad idea or would it be okay?

Thanks for the answer! would it be bad for the tires or rims or overall vehicle? I'm not too worried about looks, if I don't like it I can just switch them back, but I just want to know if it's a bad idea
