Default Will These Wheels Fit? BS issue

As usual I tried to search as much as I could on this board and in google, but cant really grasp a straight answer to my question.

I have a 4.5" Rough Country lift. Im going to be running 32x11.50 tires.

Will a 15x10 wheel with 3.62" back spacing fit ok? Rubbing issue etc?

I see a lot of guys on the boards that run crager soft wheels do the 15x10 with 4.00" bs.

If the 15x10 wont work, I will be going with 15x8 with 3.75" bs. I just really like the look of a deep lip.

Thanks in advance guys.


Please post pics if you have any with the same application

you want at least 3.75" BS for a 10" 4" BS is better, but I know guys that use 3.75". 3.62" might rub a little. You could always get those and then also get a set of LCA's from a ZJ/WJ. They require a little grinding to fit, but they'll keep you from rubbing.

I run 15x10's and have never had a rub! Never hit my lower arms and I did a little trimming and its good to go. I like the slim wider wheel base is always better. But most important I run 12.50 with tires and it makes them look like a flatter sidewall. Just not a fan of a tire looking like a balloon. And when you get in the 33" and over with 8" wide rims they tend to look like that.

With my 4.5" lift everyone told me to get the 15X8s and i got a big head and went with the 15X10s with the 3.75 in bs with 32/11.50/15s. it rubs on the inside fender flare and could be fixed with a simple trim of like .5" i like how it looks tho.
