I'm taking off the stock wheels today in anticipation of my soon-to-arrive MB TKO 15x8" wheels/tires from Discount Tire Direct.

I discovered that the previous owner had installed 1.5" spacers - presumably for the 35x12.50" he had mounted at one time on the stock wheels. I'm installing 35x12.50R15 Wrangler MT/Rs.

The MB TKOs I ordered are a -19 offset, which as I understand is proper for the wheel/tire combo I'm installing.

My JKUR is currently running a 4" TeraFlex lift, pinch-seams and rock-rails have been trimmed to accommodate 37" tires.

So... all that said... should I leave the 1.5" spacers in or pull them off?

Thanks everyone! Can't wait to get these 35s on...

 

The new rims are 15x8? The -19 offset should make them a 3.75" backspace?

Minus the 1.5" spacers makes it an effective 2.25" backspace?

Pull the spacers, then slap them back on when you move up to 38-40" tires.

 

Thanks, I did end up pulling them and the new wheels fit great. Appreciate the advice!
