I do. I'd love to see some ideas for a garage rack.
I'll post some pics up. I'm going through a garage redo shortly and will be welding up a rack for the tires
When do yours show up? Mine beat the Roadrunner Freight estimate by about five days.
Getting mounted up today! Hopefully picking up tomorrow or saturday. Wheel guys were amused by the weight of the tire/wolf wheel combo.

Amused as in "Holy crap these things are heavy!"
Do these Michelins balance well?
.
I have heard of reports of balancing very well even in the larger 9.0 size. I will report back. They are mounting with sticker weights to the inside and will flag the ones that aren't as good to run on rear and or spare. Love my wheel guys! Worse case scenario i will put beads inside.

Just placed my order. I can't wait to get these on my 90. We use the larger versions at work all the time. They are insanely tough and hold up extremely well to the rock deserts of southern Arizona.
It's hard to describe without seeing these in person but they are just so, so much heavier-duty than the BFGs. I've owned four sets of BFGs and this is my third set of XZLs and I would never go back.

Think these will fit without a lift? Ive heard 255/85 will. I was going to get Goodyear MTR or BFG MT's.
These may fit with the 5.5 inch wheels but they are huge and would stuff the wheel wells. I will post pics next week after mounted up. I have a true 3 inch lift with corrected arms etc and from the mock up will look proportional with the lift. I currently have 255 85 on factory aluminum 16x7 wheels and have room to spare. If i had stock lift i would go with 7.5s. Chris may have some new old stock in that size

Here they are on wolf's mounted on my series 2a, which is sitting on range rover/defender standard height suspension. Bear in mind this truck does not have an engine in it right now

Yes - I posted an old photo of my 110 with no lift on page 1 or 2 of this thread...
If any of you big dawgs want some 9.00R16 XZLs, I found some, too.
I will take all the 9.00 as well for my forward control. Jk. Dreaming
