Upgrading Wheels and Tires, Stock Suspension
Gents,
1st post, i have been a lurker for a few years. I have a 2010 Black JK 2dr Sport completely stock. I am currently wanting to upgrade wheels and tires. Looking at 33x12.5x15 Grabber AT2 with 15x8 MB TKO with 3.75 backspacing. Wanted to see if this setup will work with no lift and recommendations and concerns appreciated. Thanks

the tires will fit.. not to sure about the wheels.. are those the Steels?.. you may need a spacer... Why not use a 17" wheel?? just curious...
You can run up to a 35 with no lift...
there are a few guys in our local group that run the steely 15's with 35's no lift and wheel the hell out of their rigs...

Being honest i kind of just like the look of the 15". They are not steels the steels can rub the calipers. I currently have the stock 17" wheels if i just go with the stock wheels i will have to use spacers correct??

Yes you would need spacers. I have 16" steelies and I love them they are easier than the 15" because most fit and didnt love the 17" either. Mine are procomp and were about 85$ each give them a look.

Discount Tire recommends those rims for fitment on JK's, you should be fine with the backspace and caliper clearance. But, stuff the tires and check the clearance with the flares, since the tires will no longer tuck up inside the wheel wells. You may need to do some trimming or add bumpstop.
A good 15" thread, if you haven't browsed it yet.
