I have MB72 15" rims with BFG KM2's and ever since I got them I can not drive down a gravle road without getting rocks stuck in my rotors. They will squeel and squeek so loud and it sound horrible and I have to take my tire off to get them out. Has anyone else had this problem as bad as I do? Is there any way to stop this from happening?

 

Are they stuck in between the wheel and rotor, or pad and rotor? If it's the wheel, a set of wheel spacers should push them away enough to clear the rocks. If it's the pad, I don't have a solution.

 

The minimum rim size should be 16" for the JK.

 

A lot of people run 15's on the JK.

 

I have 3.75 backspacing and they alread stick out past my fenders so I really don't want to do spacers. Thanks tho

 

A friend of mine had the same problem with 15" rims on his Unlimited. After going to 17s the problem was solved.

 

This is answering my questions about 15" wheels, however how about an inexpensive aluminum wheel 17" with a confirmed 4" of backspacing?

 

I get the occasional little stone stuck between rotor and pad. As soon as I hear the squeal I just stop put the jeep in reverse for a few feet and this normally clears it. Should work for stones stuck between rim and caliper also

 

Well I love the 15's with 35's I like the extra rubber when I air down. Smoother ride and grips the hell out of the rocks. Just my opinion. I'm am going to pull the wheels off tomorrow and by the end of the day I will think of a solution to clear the rocks I'll post back ASAP

 

Not going to get a bigger rim I just dropped 1600 on these new rims and tires a little over a month ago.
