tire ?
 
I was wondering if I was to use my stock 15x7 wheels what is the widest size tire could I run on them. I really want 31x13.50.

1050 is the widest you can go and even then you will rub at full steering lock. i would recommend getting a set of aftermarket wheels 15x8 with 3.75 BS.

that is gonna rub pretty hardcore

even if you run the right amount of backspacing to get them to not rub you will chew up wheel bearings pretty often.

x2 my suggestion would be to get a skinnier tire because it will save your jeep in the long run.

I am lookin at some 15x8 wheels with 4.00 backspacing with 32x10.50 tsl radial super swampers. does that sound good? I am planning on puttin on a 4.5'' lift.

that setup looks a lot better, you will have a much easier time.

i'm running 33x12.5's on a 15x10" rim and they sit perfectly. i wouldn't even attempt going to 13.5's with a 15x8" rim. that's way too dangerous

Reese_XJ Jan 22, 2008 10:18 PM

yeah thats why I was asking. I think I am goin with the 10.50 if I go any wider it will be 11.50.

Kyle Jan 22, 2008 11:31 PM

32x11.5 on 15x8 is a pretty standard tire to be running. FWIW that would be my recommendation.
