Default Procomp 8179 15x10 Test Fit - Finished

Just lookin for a lil feedback. Cause they do seem a little bit wide. and there are no spacers in there btw.

Alright, after much reading and Advil, I bit the bullet and ordered some wheels. The tires wont be here till next Tuesday so i decided to test fit just the rim. Here are the pics after the stats for all those that are curious about running a 15 inch wheel. Pictures arn't gret but they came off my cell phone.

I only tested the drivers/front side..should I test any other side for clearance? I figured all would be the same, but I am not 100% sure. Happy so far no grinding.

Procomp 8179
5 on 5
15 x 10
3.625 bs
Comes with crome centercaps, just wasnt interested in testing those lol.

Will be mounting 35 x 12.50 x 15 Mickey Claws onto them when they arrive.

Nice looking rims. Sure seems like they will stick out a fair bit. You said the back space on these was 3.6"?

Here is that setup in aqction but with 13.50 Claws. I kind of like them being wide. It helps from rubbing the side of the jeep on banks! Let me know how they look with 12.50. Thats what Im going with next.

That is the exact rim I want 8179's in a 15x10. If you don't mind me asking, how much and where did you get them?

I think I got a decent deal on em so I dont mind..4wheelparts brought em in for me..I gave 517 and change(thats tax and all) for 5 wheels. Plus, he cut me a deal on the Claws (35x12.50x15's) for 199 each. no shipping.

That is a good deal. The best price I have been able to find is 112 each. Did you pick them up from a local store or have them shipped to your door??

Default Finished Test Fit..I like em!!

I will have to admit it, I love em. The test fit was right on the money. Here are a couple pics. Even the spare fit nicely without the need for any spacer.
