Default Getting Close to new shoes...

Was going to go with Wheels- Soft 8, Steel, Black, 15 in. x 7 in., 5 x 4.5 in. Bolt Circle, 4 in. Backspace. Tires- BFG Mud Terrain KM2, Size: 33X12.5R15

Would I still rub when I turn to far cause right now I rub when I go about 200* on steering wheel and I have 5 inch lift

Go with a 15x8, 4" BS,

You wont rub and it places the tire centered over the wheel hub

Alright thanks haha I finally understand the just-empty-every-pocket. I have a list that is never ending of what to get for it. Glad I am still in High School and can spend all my money on my Jeep without worrying about bills.

Ya I am still debating which ones I really want which do you think would be better as a DD since that is what I will be using them for mostly.

OR the Kumho KL71's... I've read great things about them, they look awesome and guys are getting over 35k out of them; just so long as they don't own a Super Duty...

I have the KUMHO'S so far i really like them. not a DD. they are a little nosiey, and at under 5mph you can feel the treds. pretty cool but maybe annoying as a DD though. but has great traction.
