Default 15" steel wheels

Is there any issue fitting on a jk?

Also, what's the story on the wheel pressure sensors when changing wheels?

Thanks for any help.

Some folks have reported having to grind down on the caliper a bit while others have had no issues. As for the TPMS, they can be moved to the new wheels or removed. If you remove them, you can cut off the light with a procal or flashpaq.

not if you run a steel wheel. even most of the aluminum wheels will work but, some are thick enough to hit the caliper. if this is the case, you can grind the caliper down a bit.

regarding the TPMS, you can have them reinstalled into your new wheels or, you can just turn it off using an aev procal or superchips programmer

yeah i have 15" craiger with 4" back spacing and I had to grind the front calipers the rears cleared fine, I'm told if you get 3.75" back spacing they clear fine which makes sense to me
