Can someone help me with the back spacing for 15" rims i need atleast 8.5" wide rim incase I move up to a 37x13.5 tire.

the tire shop is saying I have to get custom rims made if I want to run a 3 3/4" back spacing and they say there is no way 15's will fit on my jeep

John, check out the Pro Comp rims. They have a 15x10 in the back spacing you want/need. I run them myself and have not had any issues.

Procomp 15x10 fit fine with no clearance issues. Bolt up and go.
Go to a different shop, since those guys do not know what they are talking about, and they don't let that stop them from acting like they know. I wouldn't trust anything they say.

Are all of you running 15x10 pro-comps or will the 15x8s fit as well?

I want to run some 33x12.5x15 tires on my JK (to be lifted 2.5") and definitely want the procomps 8179s... just trying to figure out width.

Do a search for a member named "slickwill" and check out how he wheeled.

No problems but I wish I went with 17s. I am having trouble finding tires in 37x12.50x15s. It seems Like all the manufactures are phasing out 15s due to larger wheels being so popular a 17 is now a small wheel. I like the look of a smaller wheel myself. I think the larger wheels look to bling bling.

No problems to report here... not enough room for stuff to get in there.
