Hey Yall I havent been on XJ forums lately so I thought I would ask here––  I run BFG A/T 30X9.5 tires on my 01 XJ and want to put on some soft 8's.  What size would be best?  The Jeep does see a lot of mild to moderate trails and until I can do more mods I'd at least like some new wheels.  Thanks

You should be aware that the soft 8 is an EXTREMELY heavy wheel for it's size. Prepare fro a major downgrade in acceleration and MPG if you're running stock wheels now.

Me personally I like Jeeps with factory wheels but lifted and running larger tires, Everyone has soft 8's or some knockoff. As to size I wouldn't go wider than an 8" wheel on your rig unless you're planning on running HUGE tires

Thanks for the response, I hear you on the weight issue.  My buddy is a paint/body guy so maybe I can paint the stock rims black to get the desired effect, dark green jeep, dark tint, with dark wheels.  Thanks
