Red,

Definetly go with the wheels, 15" is a tight squeeze, but i agree with you 100%, less rim more rubber!! (better for rocks anyways)

 

Well I had to buy spacers for now, I just ordered my tera flex lift and needed them to run the stock tires and I don't have the money for wheels and tires yet.

Better to have a lift on stock tires than a set of tires sitting in the garage that wont fit on my jeep yet.

The 2.5 coil lift

 

You will be happy you went with the coil lift

 

I plan on running the spacers because I like the Rubi wheels. I just hope I don't have problems with my tire guy not wanting to mount 35's on the stock rims. (only 7.5 wide and you are supposed to have at least 8 wide to mount a 12.5 wide tire)

 

I had no problems with the shop i had put 33x12.5's on my stock 17's. I have the Sahara version, same as the Rubi's but painted. (I like the stock rims too)

If you happen to have issues, i can shoot you their name.
