We agree, the MB TKO is a sharp looking wheel and also well priced

As for orders shipping to Canada, we do charge a flat rate Customs FREE for tires and wheels. The charge for wheels is $50.00 each and for LT tires, $60.00 each.

That is too bad. It makes the wheel unaffordable, with the exchange and the $50 fee. They are great looking rims

New to the forum, thanks all for the details! Ready to pull the trigger on wheels/tires for my 2008 JK, at the moment it's completely stock.


I need some help, the guy at the local DT store claims: 1. 15's will not fit on any JK (this thread makes me confident he's wrong); and 2. 33's will not fit on JK's @ stock suspension.


Here's the setup, just need the OK from DT that it will fit and will not rub (remember, at the moment no lift, BB, leveling, or spacing):
  • Level 8 Tracker 15x8 (do i need -30mm vs. -19mm?)
  • BFG KM2 33x12.5R15 (or 33x10.5R15 if the 12.5’s increase likelihood of rubbing)

Thanks in advance, and forgive the forum noob.

Welcome to JKF, d.goods! We appreciate the opportunity at your business.

The guy at your local store is mistaken. Most 15-inch alloy wheels fit the JK and you can run up to 33-inch tall tires stock. Our apologies for the confusion with that.

The purposed set-up you noted with the -19mm offset and the 33x12.50R-15 will bolt right up, but you will have some rubbing on the lower bumper valence. This can, however, be easily trimmed. If you do not want to trim anything, the 33x10.50R-15 is they way to go.

PM coming your way.
