Alright, So I was wondering if you can run 15 inch wheels on the new JK's or not. I have seen some people with them, is there anything you have to do to the brake calipers or anything? I would love to run 15 inch wheels, tires are way cheaper. Thanks Guys.

 

You will be able to find your answer here, in the MODIFIED TECH FAQ.

 

cragar street lock; 15x8, 3.75bs, no modification needed.

 

15" Rims with 3.75" Backspacing. The backspacing is the important thing for 15's.

What part of the state is that? Good pic and the mountains look very big and its a very nice view. Some pics on here make me just want to get out in the Jeep and travel. My in-laws live in that state along with Idiaho,new mexico,oregan,alabama, cali, nevada,texas,illinois and I think thats it...lol...I can go anywhere and stay free in these states. Don't mean to inpose on this tread.


Back to the point of the tread now...What they said...15's 3.75bs with 35/12.50's and no problems. and 15's look more Jeepy IMO and yes cheaper tires/wheels.

 

That's outside off Silverton, CO. It's on the trail to the Animas Forks ghost town. Very cool place.

 

Ok, It didn't really look like Ohio so I thought I'd just ask. I'm going to just have to start traveling places because I don't really get out much.

 

Everywhere I look such as Quadratec they only sell them in 16's with 5x5 and 4 inch backspacing. where did you guys get your wheels?

 

I got mine at Summit Racing. Luckily it's only about 15 mins from my house. The wheels were about $100/each. Tires were about $175. The same set-up (kinda) in 16" wheels ran about $40 more per wheel/tire together.

I tried to find steelies but the BS was all around 4+ inches and I didn't want to risk it. It is a close fit, but it does fit. I've had no issues at all after several thousand miles, highway and off-road.

 

I got my 15's with 3.75bs in a Rock Crawler black steel wheel here in my town for $250 for set of 5 wheels.
