Hey JeepDawg,
First thanks for the write-up. It was much needed! I too have the stock Sahara 18inich wheels and have been thinking about this exact set up except with a 33 by 10.50 width tire. Your pics show how a 15inch wheel/33 tire makes the jeep look like a real jeep (no offence to those who like the 18/19/20 inch wheels)
As mentioned some of the benefits of this swap are:
1- Reduced unsprung mass
2- Increased sidewall height over stock 18inchers – Helps when airing down off road.
3- Looks like a million bucks
I wanted to ask you if you’re having any problems with cornering? I was told that going to a 15 inch wheel with the extra height if the sidewall would severely affect cornering stability etc.? I don’t think this would be the case, but could you elaborate on how your jeep takes the corners now versus when the stock 18 inchers where on? I do a lot of driving in the hwy…
