I picked up an old Jeep trailer, and the axle under it is some old Ford model front drop axle w/wire wheels. I think the bolt pattern is 5x4.5, just measuring the lugs against my TJ wheels. anyways, the old tires are pretty worn and don't hold air for more than a day. I need a set of cheap (free maybe?) wheels w/old tires to just put on there until I can save up for some 32s or 33s.

does anyone have a spare that I could at least borrow to try out on the bolt pattern? then maybe I can go from there...

I can part with 2 Jeep Moab wheels with the 32" BFG's on them if you get a line on a cheap wheel adapter. Hadn't really thought of a price but if you're interested PM me an offer. I'd guesstimate 30-35% tread life left.

Those look like Ford Model A wheels. The wheels & hubcaps should get you a few bucks back.

I'm assuming JK wheels? I was wanting to keep the cost as low as I could, but I'll look around and see what I find. if I can't find anything else, I'll let you know.

hmm...model A? the internet tells me 5x5.5 bolt pattern. I don't think my spare 35 will fit, but I'll see. I should probably solidify the bolt pattern before I go getting wheels, huh? :)

Measure? Maybe measure the hammer you'll use to bang those babies on! Oh Yeah!

Yes, they're JK wheels. I'm guessing they eliminated the cash prize for the World's Greatest Mom pageant? :D I'm sorry, couldn't resist.

Thank you, thank you...you can catch me again next week at open mic night at the HaHa Hole. Tip your waitresses.
