Default tire and rim match?
Is 15X8 rims in a 33"X12.5LT15 tire a good idea? I bought a jeep with a 6" lift in the front and 4.5" in the back. The alignment was all messed up when I got it...just trying to fix it up properly.

I don't mean to hijack the thread but what's the best way of going about putting 32x11.50's on my snowflakes?

Ummmmm, what's the confusion? Buy them and have them mounted and balanced. Sorry if I don't understand your question.

Some places say you're not supposed to go that big on a 15x7 rim.

Gotcha. Just ask around. There is no law per se, just some companies won't install over a 4" width difference.

32s not that much bigger than stok youll be fine might need to adjust steering stop cause of rubbing when at full lock 15 x8 is better but your only talking about a 1/2 difference between them
