Hello new to the forum...i just bought a new jk unlimited sport. i want to put new wheels and tires and ditch my stock 16's... i have a 75 international scout 2 that i had sitting around as a project with a new set of 15" soft 8's and new 33 hankook dynapros. long story short will a 15 inch rim fit on the jk and clear the disk calipers? if so i plan on running those wheels and tires. thanks

 

The 15" wheels should clear the calipers depending on the backspacing on the wheels. At worst, you may have to file/sand down the outside edge of the caliper.

 

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. Discount Tire tried to put mine on and one caliber was rubbing. To compensate for it, they are giving me a 1/4'' spacer for each rotor, although I will have to put them on myself.

 

the wheels i plan on buying have a 4" backspacing.

 

MB72 -19mm BS 35 12.50 15 Goodyear Kevlar

No rubbing no spacers no modification of calipers.

 

This is a bad thing. You should never use spacers of that type because they reduce the available threads for your lugnuts.

 

4" of BS should clear with no problem then.

 

thanks for the help.
