Hello all,

Since uncle sam should be coughing up with my tax return soon I have seriously started looking at various tire and rim combos. one such combo would be a 15" ION wheel with 3.5 backspacing matched to a 33"x12.5x15 tire. I'm wondering how far they would stick out from the fenders and other clearance issues. wondering if anybody has a set up similar and if they can share some pics. BTW I am planing on doing a leveling kit before swapping tires.

 

You should be fine with that setup, no rubbing. Are those wheels on the list of 15's that fit JK's?

 

Should stick out about an inch. My 15s are 3.75 backspacing and stick out around 3/4". Leveling kit should be fine for the 33s. I only did the spring swap from 14/54 to 18/59s and fit 35s.. I have 17" inches of articulation disconnected before the tire stuffs, haven't cut my flares yet. Good luck post pics when ya get it finished

 

For reference as far as sticking out from fenders, here are my 35x12.5x15 km2s on 8" wide wheel with 3.75" back spacing

 

X2 that's how mine sit

 

Thanks for the replies and the pix. The wheels are approved for jk's and i will post pics when everything comes together....Thank again
