Gonna run either 33 or 35. I was gonna go with a 15x8 rim. Or should I go with a 15x10. I heard the more the tire is out from the jeep the more death wobble u will have. Any info or pics appericated thanks

Never head anything about "more the tire is out from the jeep the more death wobble" ...that sounds like bull ****.

Either size is fine. Id go 15x8..youll be able to air down better.

This is false. The more your tires stick out the more stress you put on your wheel bearings, but nothing to do with death wobble. I agree 15x8 should work just fine.

I was wondering the same thing... I have some 33x12.50 baja claws and now I'm debating 15x8 or 15x10...But I'm leaning way toward 15x8.
