15 inch wheels
 
I know this question has probably been asked a million times. I drive a two dr 10 jk sport. I wanna get new rims. I'm thinking 15x8 or 15x10. Which do u recommend ? What are the biggest tires with stock suspension?

Also forgot to mention the wheels have a 4 backspacing

Difference between a 8" wheel and 10" wheel is preference.
You can run 35's on the stock suspension with flat fenders.

I bought 15" wheels with 4" backspacing and they rubbed on the front calipers so I ground the calipers 1/4". I'm told with the 3.75" backspacing available on some 15" wheels they will fit with no grinding. :thumbsup:

Wow, 33x15.50? That will look a bit odd?

I would love the much wider tires but I live in NYC and my driveway is very narrow. Not sure if I can afford to add that much width. I fold my mirrors in to get down it lol what about with stock fenders? I'm guessing the 35s won't work? 33s maybe?

Wranglerbrian 03-24-2011 05:42 PM

That's perfect width. What wheels and tires do u have?

Wranglerbrian 03-24-2011 05:56 PM

The exact same wheels I was looking. Do you have pics of the jeep profiled. Would love to see the full effect of those babies lol

Thanks a lot buddy. Those are definitely sweet. 33s I think would be perfect
