I know that somewhere in the thread someone already asked this question, but I always read about 15inch wheels plus spacer.
I've got a 2008 JK Sport and I wanted to put 15 inch rim but without using any spacer, since I've already got 17inch with 35 for summer offroading/city and they don't require spacer.
First of all here we talk about ET and not Backspacing and by reading all the reply I came up with the idea that If I want to put 15inch wheel without spacer I need at least rims with -40. Is that correct? Can I go under -40 or it will scarpe?
Because I like my JK wide, but not too wide, since in Italy trail are really narrow, I'm already 205cm wide and it's a pain in the ass, so my idea was to stay in the -20 offset zone, but i dont think that's enough. I've got a friend with a JK2012 and we tried to fit 16inch rims (ET -10) and the only way to make them fit was to put spacer (-30) without grinding the calipers.
I found these rimswhich aren't too much expensive and I think they would fit without any spacer on my JK. What do you think?
