15s fit perfectly on my jeep, one rubbed but then we tried a different wheel in its place and that one fit hahah,i was just suggesting maybe he thinks about getting a 15" steel wheel-tires are even cheaper, even more sidewall, C load range

YES I WENT FROM THE STOCK RUBICON WHEELS AND 32 INCH TIRES TO 16x8 WHEELS WITH 33s THEN 35s JUST MAKE SURE THAT YOUR BACKSPACING IS CLOSE TO 4.5 INCHES OR LESS AND YOU SHOULD HAVE NO PROBLEM AT ALL

I went from the stock 17s to 16s and havent looked back. With 35s, the added inch of sidewall is better offroad IMO, and I am happy to pay a lot less for tires. Go for it!

A smaller rim makes the overall size of the tire look bigger. Just compare pictures of people with 35s on a JK with 15" wheels to 35s on 17" wheels. I went with 16" wheels and 33s.
