Precise1 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Bear with me but this should be worth the read. It'll take you much less time than it took me to put it together. The end of it all (for those with ADD) 5 31x10.5" BFG M/T KM2 mounted, balanced, etc on new Cragar Soft 8's for $1,230. That's a good price in NorCal! The break down is that Costco sells the BFG M/T KM2 tire for $184 each + tax and $1.75 Ca disposal fee. Here in NorCal, that equals $203 per tire out the door. This price includes mounting, balancing, weights, valve stems and whatever else... The rims are a longer story, but again, for the ADD afflicted, Summit Racing is shipping me 5 Cragar Soft 8 15x8" 6x5.5" 26lb black powder coated steel rims (purchase price included) for $212.90. Yeah... $39.95 each +11.95 handling charge for all of them(no shipping cost). IF YOU WANT RIMS, CHECK OUT SUMMIT SOON!!! What I learned is that rims by Cragar and rims by Pacer, described as 'the same' to me before, really are. No joke!! I checked out the web sites, and the manufacturer codes are hauntingly familiar with the similar prefixes and identical (4 digit) suffixes. I checked out a few at random that proved to me that they are identical, down to the part # with some extrapolation. If you doubt, check it out... http://www.summitracing.com/search/Brand/C...s/?autoview=SKU http://www.pacerwheels.com/shared_modules/...9&linkBig=y The same seems to apply to AR 767 wheels as I'm sure as they are listed also... A local tire and wheel fellow explained to me that there are only a few companies making tires and everyone 'resales' them. At first I was unsure, but now I begin to believe him...

Morningwould Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) You did manage to get a very good deal. I purchased the same wheels from summit when I had my wrangler. Their wheel prices are very good. The tires on the other hand can be found a little cheaper at Tires-easy.com. A set of 5 BFG M/T km2 tires after shipping is only $899.50 tires-easy.com Edited August 19, 2009 by Morningwould Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KovemaN Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 (edited) Discount Tire sells the exact same wheels under their Unique brand. They list for $59, but they will match prices in most cases. Summit definately has the best deal on the black steelies. I like these too: Black Rock 909 Edited August 15, 2009 by KovemaN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KovemaN Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 How hard are they to clean though (I'm lazy)? I guess that depends on how far it is to the nearest puddle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tekazgtr1984 Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Those BlackRock wheels are so badass. And they are alloy, too. Much lighter than steelies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Precise1 Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 No idea... Well, I went to order my tires today and got "unavailable" for a reply. Dammit!! The guy is going to call around and see if he can find a set, one from here, there and where ever or find out how long of a wait it will be. I don't need them immediately, but I refuse to run 235/75/15 tires with a 2" body lift and a 3" suspension lift, so I'm not installing the suspension lift yet. I'll find out tomorrow but I suspect it won't be what I want to hear... *sigh* B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedPath88 Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 That sucks B... perhaps another place will price match, maybe one with them in stock? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted August 17, 2009 Share Posted August 17, 2009 when i ended up waiting for my tires an extra week, i got another 10% off or something to that effect.. hit them up, if they don't offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted August 19, 2009 Author Share Posted August 19, 2009 Well, the local American Tire Store is ordering my tires with a 1-3 day wait but advised me not to have them mounted until Monday, the first day of a $70 rebate. LOL, ok!! 5 tires mounted, ballanced, everything included with lifetime ballance, rotation and repair for $940. I'm cool with that!! Damn, I have a lot of work to do in the next couple of weeks!!

As soon as I get the money I'm buying a set of those steelies... And why does the tire-easy link come up in Russian? I fixed the link. I had it going to tire-easy.com instead of tires-easy.com. Those BlackRock wheels are so badass. And they are alloy, too. Much lighter than steelies! The steelies are much stronger than aluminum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drunkencat Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 I like the look of those rims and tires. Is your pathfinder stock height? If not, do you have any issues with them rubbin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 You talking to me?? Yep, that's a stock pathy. A couple of times the knobbies made some noise while turning sharply and reversing, but no, no real rubbing issues with 31" tires and 4"BS (3.75 is stock). I will still be doing a 3" suspension lift... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like how the Xterra rims look but the off set if off I think since the tires rub on u-turns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted September 11, 2009 Author Share Posted September 11, 2009 Ok, I really have no idea what size Xterra rims are or what their backspacing is. Hopefully someone will chime in soon so we have numbers to go by. not guesses. Can you post a picture of the rims to help identify them, or satae the year, if known??

nismothunder Posted September 11, 2009 Share Posted September 11, 2009 As soon as I get the money I'm buying a set of those steelies... And why does the tire-easy link come up in Russian? I believe its polish...I maybe wrong though Next wheels I'm buying are going to be AR Outlaw Rebel bandits....I like that chrome is so easy to clean compaired to my current AR aluminum slot mags. And maybe a set of little meats like LTB's or SSR's.But this is after I fix the tranny...add my Cow killer to the front(really its going to be a grill guard made from 1/8inch angle iron forming a V(kinda like a out riger or a flat tow hitch)...maybe headers and 2.25 exhaust...well the lift may go on and on.
