Will 15" mickey thompson II rims fit on the new jk ? they will have 33x12.50 tires on them

thanks

 

there are threads of people useing 15s with the correct back spacing

 

Anyone running 15x8 rims on the new jk 4dr? need spacers due to the brakes?


Thanks

 

Well, What Backspacing are they

 

No, they will not fit.

Please see the attached:

Mickey Thompson does not make a 15" wheel for a JK, only a 16x8, 17x9, and 18x9. Your lug pattern is 5 on 5.

 

they are mickey thompson II with 3 5/16 backspacing, i will have to use spydertrax 5-4.5 wheel adapters.

 

can't i use the spydertrax wheel adapter/spacers to convert from 5 to 4.5 bolt pattern?

 

Yeah, of course you can use wheel adapters. Some people do not like to use them. I've ran them before, not on the JK, on a TJ. They work fine, just make sure you check the torque on the lugs about every 500 miles or so. Just to be on the safe side, nobody likes to have a wheel pass them on the freeway:-) Good luck man, post some pics when you get them installed.

 

If you use a wheel adapter to mount a wheel that already has a 3 5/16 backspacing, you are going to end up with a wheel/tire that sticks way too far.

i agree. also some are having leverage issues with front bearing housings bending. the jk fender wells are so big i think you get a morew proportionate look with larger rims anyway.
