Tire/Wheel Setup!
Im thinking about going with pro-comp 33x12.5R15 mud terrains with crager 15x8 D Window wheels with a 4in BS. Would this setup fit properly??I wouldn't need any spacers or anything ect..? Also how big of a difference of ride is it between a 15 and 16inch wheel?? Thanks so much

Q: Will 15" Wheels Fit on my JK?
A: Most steel ones will fit without any problems and depending on the thickness of the wheel most aluminum ones will as well. The only thing you really need to make sure is that the wheel clears the brake calipers.

15 vs 16 of the same overall diameter tires, the 15's will be softer (not a lot though) at the same psi due to there being more rubber, less wheel. Kinda all depends on how much sidewall you want. That same thread I listed mentions backspacing too. 4.75 to 3.75, probably closer to the 3.75 side with that wide to avoid rubbing.

Based upon searching for hours on this forum and going to Cragar's site this is what i have come up with:
The cragar 15" wheel that will fit are the:
365 Series Black V-5 Part Number: 365-5850
which is a 15x8 with 19mm offset and 3.75 bs on a 5x5 pattern
352 Series Black Street Lock "D" Window Part Number:3525850 New part number 1527550014B
which is a 15x8 with 19mm offset and 3.75 bs on a 5x5 pattern
The following will not work. The 397 Series Black Soft 8 only has 13mm offset and will cause problems with the calipers.
I have now requested a quote from Travis at Discount Tire Direct on the two viable options. I sure hope that i am right.

It seems that some do and some don't.
I assume that 2k2wranglerx has the 397 Series Black Soft 8 .
