ITEM: Stock BF2 XR6T rims (with very used OEM tyres 235/45s?).

LOCATION: Sydney

ITEM CONDITION: Wheels good for age, tyres near min tread

REASON FOR SELLING: They are taking up space up my garage! Owner (Brother in law) replaced 12 months ago with 18's

PRICE AND PAYMENT CONDITIONS: $200 ono (COD)

EXTRA INFO:
Believe they are suitable for CJ, 17x8 , 5x 114.3 and ~42 offset . You can replace the centres with Ralliart/Mitsubishi from Ford if you want them to really look the part. They don't look too different in style from VR 16's or the optional Mitsubishi (non VRX/RA) 18's, so suit the CJ.
Big guess (problem or opportunity): Needs new 215's (min)to fit the 8" width rim so 225/50/17's, 215/50/17, 225/45/17's etc , and still get under std guards without further mods (stds ES/VR are 205/60/16?)

CONTACT INFO: PM

PICTURES: Edit...now Added.

Edit: 205/50/17's will stretch to a 8" rim...

Bump...
some research courtesy of Bob Jane (goto Mr Taleb for final purchase).

If you need to replace your VR/ES tyres consider the following ( ex BJ catelogue)
a) Replace your OEM ES/VR tyres with Yoko Cdrive 205/60/16 $189 middle- higher end spec
OR b) Bridgestone ER300 225/50/17 $207 solid mid spec radial for the 17’s for sale as an upgrade...… 17's with new rubber for around 1000?
