What do you mean its tipping? If the whole jeep is leaning when you are turning then you should check for sway bars. Front and rear. See if they are present and connected.

Most likely it came from the factory with 15x7 rims. But your rims might not be causing the problem. Would help us to know what tires and rims you have on there now.

If your jeep is stock height, your wheels with have nothing to do with it "tipping". As the other users said, make sure the jeep has the swaybars on it and that they are connected. It's also possible that the shocks and/or coils are worn. It has coil springs on all four corners and solid axles... it's not going to corner like a mazerati.

Sorry brother... those are not 8" (TJ) Canyon rims... those are 7" (ZJ) canyon rims....

ZJ Canyons:


TJ Canyons:


Notice the thicker "spokes" near the rim.



Kinda hard to tell because they're black, but notice how much less my tires "balloon" out over the wheels?

UPDATE: Found a better pic after I started removing the plasti-dip
