I bought the Discount Tire package with 15" Aluminum MB72 wheels and 35" KM2s.

~1700 with new TPMS and road hazard coverage. Fits with a 2"f / 1"r leveling kit no prob. I have not flexed it out 100% but used a high lift floor jack and do not see anywhere that will rub at full extension.

The good thing about them is the cost of not only the wheels but the tires too, funny how that works but I'm not complaining.

On the other hand if your like me and you decide one day that you want to upgrade the brakes then you'll probably have to bump the rim size back up b/c I'm pretty sure beefier calipers cant be stuffed in behind 15" wheels.
