I'm trying to get some nice looking wheels and tires for my JK, but the guy at the tire shop told me I couldn't go smaller than a 17" wheel. He is obviously not very intelligent, since most of you have smaller wheels. I want to go to 15" wheels and tires or possibly 16" to get something more affordable. What do I need to do to get 15" wheels to fit my 4 door JK?
Please give me some suggestions for the type of wheel I should buy, too.

Just a note, I'm putting on a 4 inch lift this week and I already know I want the Goodyear Dura Trac tires.

Thanks,

Welcome! Trust these guys on here! They definitely know what they are talking about. Except for RedneckJeep..he's from Georgia... Just kidding, Redneck.

 

I almost ordered some 15" Pro Comp Soft 8's from 4 wheel parts until they talked me out of them.. Supposedly they tested them on 3 JK's and they all had rubbing issues.. Its a simple fix, just grind down the brake calipers a little.. They talked me into 16's and gave me a really good deal on them..

15's are cool because they make your tire look a little beefier.. I just got my rims and a set of 315/75/16 KM2's in and they look great! Perfect size rim for 35's..

 

Is there another way without grinding down brake calipers?

 

Do you have any pictures?
So are you saying I should go with 16" rather than 15's?
