I run 15" soft 8's. I like them, only issue is as stated above can't do beefy tie rod ends.

I just took my 15's off last week and replaced with 17's. I bent stock tie rod and upgraded to a synergy, which cleared the wheels by an 1/8th inch. Ended up with the TRE's grinding a little on one wheel. If you know you'll never upgrade tie rod then go for the 15's, if not certain stick with 17's. Tires were about $100/tire more than 15's.

Is anyone running 15x10 wheels? I've ran 10" wide wheels on multiple YJs and loved them. I'm now looking for a set for my '13 JK. So far I've only found a few steel wheels. I would rather run 10's with 3.75-4.00BS vs running spacers. If anyone has experience with 15x10 please let me know along with the brand. Thanks!

15x10's here! There were the pro comp alloy wheels but they've since discontinued the wheel. I keep them in my garage for when I find another set of tires to set on them. I believe they're right at 3.5" of backspacing or close to it. I ran a couple different sets of 10.5" wide wheels on them for the beach down here and it worked great.

I run spacers in addition to the wheels (though not needed or recommended) because I want to stay out of everyone else's ruts down on the beach.

my 15s fit also, basically when you go to get them make sure there 3.75 or 3.6 back spacing or -19 offset, the backspacing is the key. mine are 15, 3.75 bs, -19 offset pro comp street locks

I've got 15x10 pro comp soft 8's with I believe 3.5 backspacing everything clears just fine!

If you plan to wheel it and air down a lot, I'd recommend an 8" or 9" wide wheel vs 10". Sure 10" works, but it won't hold a bead as well at low psi. Friend of mine has 15x10 and 35's and has on occasion burped air at 15 psi. I regularly air down my 15x8 to 8-9 psi with no issues. Just an FYI
