    Tires, rims, seats

    I need 4 15x8-15x10 5 on 5.5" lug pattern rims with 4-5" backspacing preferably, also need 4 36"-37"TSL's or anything else that's decent. Has to have at least 50% tread left, also I need a set of bucket seats that can withstand weathering that'll fit a CJ.

    Yeah, those Hummer tires are usually pretty cheap. There are newer ones too, that are 37x12.50s, and are supposed to behave better on the road, but cost more.

    humvee tires are crap. when i was still enlisted i was talkin with the motor-t chief in my reserve unit and he explained to me that the reason they are so cheap is cause there is alot less quality control put into them since they are often used in a 75% off road manner. alot of times they are very out of round and are very difficult to balance.

    but go ahead and spend the money on them if you want, you might get lucky and a few of the decent ones.

    I wouldn't be driving them on the street daily or if at all, maybe just to meetings. I actually had a buddy back in highschool who ran a set of them and they did great offroad, but he did have trouble getting them to balance and they were extremely noisy due to the heavy side lugs.
