Reading alot of post where guys are successful with 15" wheels on JK. Looking at doing this and want to know as much as possible prior to doing.

From what I have read, 15" cragar soft 8's with 4" of BS is the way to go.

Has anyone run into problems doing this with new break pads?

 

I spoke with procomp because I read they made a 15" for the jk. Thats not true but they did point that I should test with new pads. He also pointed out that the tighter clearance could be a problem if I were to bend the wheel. I can't see that as an issue since there is only a 1/2" difference between 15" & 16".

 

Karls10jk, what wheels are they?

 

this should answer some Q's

I have 15 inch alloys with 4.75 BS and have no issues with any rubbing. The wheels are procomp 8069's.

 

Thanks guys. I will def look into this more. My terraflex 2.5" coil lift is going on in two weeks. Will need to make a decision on tires soon after.

 

Ok, so looking through a catalog I see the following procomp wheel listed under JK. See pic. I called procomp earlier and they said they do make one. Who to believe.

 

I just put 15" 15x8(3.75bs) Procomp 1069 wheels on with no problems what so ever.

 

We have 2 JK's, one 4dr & 2dr, both 2011's. We have 15x8 wheels, 33 tires & a 2 1/2 lift. One is running Ion Alloy 174's & the other has MB Wheels Razor's with no rubbing issues at all. They are a tight squeeze, but clear fine. They look great too!! I didn't like the look of the stock 18's that came on my Jeep.

 

I too run procomp 1069 15x8's with no issues at all. 15's look great on a jk.
