Just an update. I was having the tires rubbing at full turn on the front air dam. Used a sharp utility knife to cut the side wings. Problem solved. Sorry no pics tho.

Does Nitto make the Mud Grappler or Trail Grappler for a 15" rim?

so what is the largest size tire I can put on a the 15x8's? I'm going to cut my fenders down before I do any off roading, and i'll be "trimming" my bumpers down soon too. Does the JK have a steering nut I can adjust like the TJ's used to? I really like the MB's and the price is right.

I'm also torn between the BF Goodrich TAKO's and the Duratrac's. I ran 33x12.50x15 TAKO's on my TJ and I loved them, but i'm hearing so many good things about the duratrac's. I live in Buffalo, so the snow is a plenty.

Default Ordered Mine!

I got 5 17 x 8.5 flat black MTBs and 5 315 70r 17 Khumo Road Venture MT KL 71s and new tpms sensors. Junior will send me the black lug nuts directly from Gorilla. Said that they will send it with chrome for now as the black nuts were out of stock. I'll put pics up as soon as I get them on!

Nitto builds their Mud Grappler in a 35x14.50R15 but we would recommend a 15x10 for this wide of a tire. They also build the Mud grappler in a 33x13.50R15. The Trail Grappler is only built in 16" sizes and up at this time.

You can run up to a 35" tire with a leveling kit and some modifications. If you don't want to make any modifications a leveling kit and a 33" tire will clear easily. If you don't have a leveling kit or lift, a 33" tire will clear with some minor modification.
