Where to get wheels/tires?

In your collective experience where have you gotten the best deals on packages?
I will also need to know backspacing and such....those 31'2 look silly on there with the 6" lift.

4 wheel parts wholesalers have the best prices ive seen, if you find a lower price within 30 days of your purchase they'll give you the difference back

Tire Rack is competitive, and some local chains (like America's Tire, for instance) will price match your best deal. Plus it lets you buy locally and get the free rotations, etc.

First look in your Trading Post or similar "for sell by owner" rag, you might find a deal and usually get the tires at about 25-50% of retail. Buddy of mine got 4ea. 35" x-terrains for $400, tires were on a jeep and had no wear. usually guys are going up and haven't even had the tires for a year.
I've bought two sets of tires from tyres international, swampers and ground hawgs. I only wish I'd bought the 38s when they were still on sale.

I got my 33" Super Swamper TSL's at 4 wheel parts, and they were cheaper than anywhere else I checked.
