I can come into a corner hot, scrub brakes late, hit the apex and exit full throttle pulling close to a full g. Just not in a jeep. There's no issues with 35's on 15's. If one decides to roll the tires on a lifted rig with high center of gravity, the issue isn't mechanical.

Alright then
Thank you. I shall assume many are using an 8" wide wheel with 12.5" wide 15's without issue as well. I think the 15x10 wheels run more of a risk losing a bead.Just planning for my next set of tires and wheels...

I've run 15x10 wheels at 13-15 PSI with no issues for years (3 different Jeeps) and we do a lot of rock crawling like the Rubicon. We've been running Goodyear MT/R 35x12.5R15 's on the ProComp steel wheels for the past 2 years.

I used to run full sized Broncos until I converted to the JK. I always ran 15x8 and 15x10 wheels on those rigs. I never had issues running 32s, 33s or 35s on them. Those things are heavier than a JK and a little bit wider. I have 3 worn out Broncos in the yard with about 750,000 combined miles among an '81, '86 and a '90. Bronco guys running bigger wheels generally converted to 8 lug axles.
