Y'al helped me, with a set of 15" MB's and 12.50 duraTracs on an 07 JK.
I now have a '15 Rubicon JK. I would again like to install some 33x12.50-15. I am running 3.73 gears, thta being the reason for 33's.
TPMS monitors are a MUST have also. Can you help me out once again, PLEASE?

Many Thanks, once again!
Using your on-line interactive wheel sizing program, I found exactly what I wanted. The MB TKO's look great on my Rubicon! And the DuraTracs perform just as I remembered. The local dealer, less than a mile from my home, had everything in stock and on hand in 8 days. Since I bought my first set, for the '07 JK ( internet sale) I have bought 2 more tire and wheel sets....a "staggered" set (4) of Nitto 555's for my '97 Mustang GT, and another 5 wheel/tire set for my '15 Rubicon from my local store.
So, like I did before, I'm gonna beg...you got any free decals / swag. I will plaster it up, as you can see I did the whte 07 on my FB page / album @ Kliff Barner
TIA

Offset question
At the risk of dragging up a question that has been answered multiple times, how does offset affect the stance? In my mind, a -30 offset results in a tire that is tucked under the fender well a little farther. Or put another way, a set of wheels with a -19mm offset results a stance that is 22mm wider than the wheels with a -30mm offset.
Or am I completely bass-ackwards?

The lesser the backspacing or offset, the wider the stance.

Saharaunlmtd is correct, the lesser the backspacing the wider the stance, typically speaking. Here's a good write up on the offset/ backspace relationship.

For reference, the 15x8 ET-30 (3.32" BS) will sit 1/2-inch further out than the 15x8 ET-19 (3.75" BS).

Canada eh!
I was just looking on your site Mb TKO are awesome looking wheels. I'm wondering if I looked up the right prices. Is there a $50 tax per wheel to send to Canada? Thanks in advance Dog
