After a lot of communication and engineering feedback Hutchinson and I have come to the conclusion that the Hutchinson RockMonster Beadlocks in 15x8, previously designed for the TJ will fit the JK with an adapter to change the bolt pattern from 5 on 5 to 5 on 4.5. So any of you wanting to run legal 15" beadlocks that look and perform great on and off road here you go!

I thought 15" would not clear the brakes ?

Also, what is the retail cost on these ? I like the look

 

quite contrary to common belief some, and i say most 15" rims will fit. the retail on these are 380, however the 17" rims are 465 so its a good buy

 

Rock Monster wheels are awesome. Unfortunately, they weigh a ton and cost a fortune. If I was still single though (and had the cash), I would have some. Good luck.

 

For an update, Hutchinson now offers these in 5x5 for the JK, but only 17" x 8.5".

 

It is my understanding that Hutchinson beadlock wheels weigh approx. 55LBS each.
How much do the stock JK Rubicon wheels weigh?

 

I think the Mopar Hutchinsons weigh that much. The Hutchinson Rock Monsters weigh less I think (from what I can tell around 43 lbs.), but I'm curious to get specific numbers as well as the weight of the JK Rubi wheels.

 

once again, untill someone can provide a ticket or actual proof that there is a such thing as "illegal" bead-locks please stop spreading the internet rumors

And I am not sure thier 15's will clear. They have some thickness to them.

 

Just got an email from Hutchinson and they say their 5x5 17" Rock Monster wheels are 44 lbs (including the internal beadlock).
