JK Show & Tell Whether they're just poser shots in your driveway or hardcore action shots on the trail, if you've got photos or videos of your Jeep JK Wrangler (or any JK for that matter that you think is worth showing off, inside or out), we want to see them so please post them here! Likewise, if you are wanting to see a photo of something specific like an aftermarket JK part or poser shot with a specific setup, this is the place to ask for it.

Cool I love my 15 inch rims

A lot of places said it can't be done... 15 inch rims on a JK. Ha .... I told them to order them anyways. And I put them on and showed them. That was 4wheel parts and a couple of smaller 4x4 shops. So I like them because they make the JK look more Balanced. It actually drives more stable. Check out my pics.

I agree. I run 15" wheels and 35" MTRs and love it! Plus the tires are 218.00 for 15" and 340.00 for the 17"

I'm considering 15s whenever I get new rims because a taller sidewall means my new rims won't get all jacked up and scratched on the rocks like my stock rims.

I have 15's and my wheels are still all rock bashed all over. Had to grind just a little off the back of the wheel to fit without hitting

Wrong. It's all about poor qc and unacceptable tolerances at the plants that made the jk. The casting is thicker on some then others. Also punched steel wheels work less often due to the lip from the punch. Cast wheels are more likely to fit.
