15" Rim Questions
 
Hey all.
Complete noob here. I have a few questions regarding the 15 rims.
I know that 15" Level 8 Trackers will fit,
however I have heard from one member of another forum and a friend of mine that a 15 rim ith -30mm backspacing will put way too much stress on the axle? They basically said that my axles will "Snap". I want to runn 33's, as I am gonna chop my fenders when warm weather comes, and I can do it with no lift.

Does anyone have an opinion on this?

I run those exact rims with 35" MT/R. I assure you your axle will not "snap" or even close to that. With 33's your axle will be fine, you might have some premature ball joint wear, but with 33's I think thats about it, and depending how you use your rig that might not even happen. Im pretty happy with mine so far, they fit great and I like the offset a lot, gives my Rubi the stance I was looking for.

That's what I thought. I do go wheeling, but its nothing crazy. Mainly "bunny trails" with some decent obstacles and mostly mudholes.
