Ok guys, what do you think? Im running Michelin LTX m/s 235/70 R15's that im going to keep, for now. 15 x8 wheels or 15 x 7's? Something tells me to stick with 15 x 7's with these tires as im planning on a spring job front and rear in the next year or so and im sticking with stock height (or close). Probably going with Cragar wheels.

15x7"s will be fine for you.. since you dont plan on running wide tires. The rule I have always heard was that the tire should not exceed 4" wider than the wheel.

11.50" wide tires is what my buddy who runs a tire shop said would be the max width..Any wider and you could run into issues.Although he said you could go wider for a trail only rig just not a DD.

Thanks much guys. Im thinking 15 x 7's myself. Now if i can just decide on "which" wheels. and get my 16 yr old to pay for his own jeep insurance (he has a 96 xj country, and get my two smaller babies to listen, and quit giving my youngest (daddy's girl) everything she wants, then, i might come up with a few extra bucks to actually do this wheel thing...
