Default just ordered

I ordered a set of 5 15x8 procomp series 98's for the jk. The guy at 4wheelparts says they never have issues mounting them on jk's. I hope they fit. Had to order them from the manufacture so now waiting is going to be the hardest thing.

Congrats they should work out just fine, my brother just got some 15x8s and they fit with no issues. Man the tires are a lot cheaper for 15s wish I would have gone that route. Post some pics when you get em

Ill snap some pics for sure. They should be ready for pick up in about 8 days. They are 3.75 backspacing. Thats good news that there are others out there without fitting issues.

Make absolutely sure you get what you ordered. I ordered a 15x8 w/3.75" BS series 98 and received a series 97. I have a Rubicon and it does make contact with the caliper ever so slightly. I was told by my local 4wheelparts that they have none of the 98's in stock companywide and there won't be any in stock til after the first of the year and, that they only had 2 of the 97's. I'm curious to see if the series 98's are any different. I've talked to numerous vendors, and Pro Comp themselves, and have been told that there is no difference between the 97 and 98. However, I've seen examples of some that have the 98's on Rubicons and they clear the calipers. Not really a big deal, I'm going to grind them anyways but would like to know if there really is a difference. Good choice on wheels though. Cheap, easily replaceable, and 15" tires are much, much cheaper.

Thats funny that you say that because my local 4wheelparts said they only have 2 98's in stock throughout the entire company so they had to order 3 directly from the manufacture. I will make sure on all the paper work that is says series 98. Thanks for the heads up.
