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.

Default finally got my tires mounted.

Couldnt take the pizza cutter look anymore. Now if my tinted window kit would have been the right color I would be set. Might still do 2 inch lift once the discos go on and see if it hits anywhere.

As far as fitting 15's I will crawl under tom. and see what kind of brake clearance there is. The backspacing is 5" and I think its perfect. Doesnt rub at full turn. The center caps are only off because I was goin to paint them black but not sure if I will even put them on now. Maybe when the lift goes on.

I doubt 15's will fit. My stock 16's are real close to the calipers, very close.

Like you, I'd paint the center caps black. Just my .02 cents - it's all in what you like. You've got a nice looking rig. The meats look killerfrom the rear.
