It's very hard to find wheel 1 or 3. The 2nd wheel pictured is the only one that seems to turn up on a regular basis.

I noticed almost all the wheels on that site EstorilM posted are wider than stock (9" or 9.5" versus 8"). Does that cause any issues with rubbing or wheels poking out?

I have 4 of the #3 I have been hoarding. I would sell them for $600 plus shipping if you are interested.

That size is extreme, most would do 265's probably.. but you also have to remember that all the wheels on there are 20 or 22 unfortunately. I really really struggled to find a good tire for 18 but just didn't want to go from the 19" HSE's down to 18's - and at the same time, 19" off-road tires were just too expensive at $220 /tire for my shop's cost. The Falken Wildpeak's were about $50 cheaper per tire.

After buying the 20" black/machined stormers AND tires, I'll be out the door for less than just buying 19" cooper zeons and keeping my HSE wheels (once I sell the 19's on CL). Crazy to think about.
