Will 15" rims fit over the disc brakes?


I have in my head that 16" rims minimum to clear brakes?


Tires cheaper for 15" rims

Eric - Your comment made me laugh so loud my kids ran into the room to make sure I was all right. Thanks. I was thinking "His mommy wouldn't let him take his sticker off"
Thanks again for the laugh.

Hey there Doc,
Nice Wheels man!

I was just wondering what brand they are, and did you need to use
any kind of of spacers behind them? If so...how thick?

If you didn't need spacers could you post some shots of the
inner and outer sides of a wheel showing what the
amount of space is like between the caliper and the rim...please?

Thank you in advance
CHOPPER

Nice Jeep doc!

Whats the size on those rims? I know they are 15"s but by what? 15x? and what is your backspacing please? I want to run 15"s too.

BTW, I have an X too. (really it is mine, I make the payments) Keep your dang sticker if you wanna.
