On stock wheels you'll probably run a little bit. Need a wheel with some back spacing

from what ive read from other threads yes they will rub. and a quick solution is to buy new rims with about a 4 inch backspacing on them. cragar makes some good rims for cheap like $42.99 a rim from summit racing.

Depends on the tire itself, mud, all terrain or street tire. I had 33x12.50s Xterrains on stock rims and they didn't rub on the street but if it flexed the slightest bit they hit the leaves and rubbed the control arms when turning. The size of side lug or lack there of will determine how much if at all they will rub.

spidertrax wheel spacers!! have had a set used on my jeep for 3 years now and havent had a single problem with them! never a broken stud,lug, backing off or anything! check around, you can find them cheap here and there :)

ok cool by any chance would any one no the stock offset?> or am i just safe with getting the 4 in off set with those cragars ? thanks!

gaffy 06-20-2010 07:09 PM

and 15x8 would be fine correct?

96_xj 06-20-2010 07:14 PM

Yes you want 4" offset on a 15x8 or even a 15x10 if you like the swqure side wall look . The stock rim is

15x7
5.25"bs
5-4.5 lug pattern


Best of luck man!
