How is that set up working for you? I really like the looks of it. Price is nice also. I also have a '09 with the auto. Was there much difference in power?
Thanks

I'm running 15" Pro Comp Rock Crawler street locks and they fit perfect with the 3.5" back spacing. No grinding of the caliper at all. I have them wrapped in 35" BFG's on my 08 X 2 door and they work great. Here are some random pics...

Xero go 16'' and then 255 85 16 is about 33x10.0x16 discount here can get many different 16'' wheels its where i got mine. I use the draper or WVC location and dont have any issues. Any more ? just ask. In store they could tell you all the choices in that size online none show up. 15'' may or may not fit. Not worth grinding for me to fit a 15''.

If I bought a 15 and wanted to grind down the caliper, would the area needed for grinding become apparent when the wheel is installed? I have some neighbors who are currently rebuilding a car in their garage that could probably assist me.

I'd love nothing more than to talk to the people at Discount Tire personally, but they close at 6pm and I'm not even off work by then. They are closed on Sundays too, so Saturdays are all I have... I'm running out of Saturdays before EJS.

I'll try to call them while at work, if I don't get caught. I'll see if they have any Procomps or more options.

Thanks.

The MB72 Alloys in 15x8 are a bolt on with no grinding required and should be available in black now acording to Discount Tire Direct. I would get those if I didnt already have ProComp 15x8 alloys.

Very apparent. I bought Pro Comp Series 97 and it was just the backs of the punched in holes that barely scraped. I could see where some of the paint got rubbed off on the backs of those holes and, on the caliper could see the affected area. I shaved off about 1/16" and touched up both with the appropriate color Rust Oleum. There is so much meat in that area of the caliper that it's not that big of a deal.

Awesome. After reading the thread from Discount Tire themselves, those are what I'll go with. I even like the looks of that wheel. Not to mention the weight is a bit lower. Almost twice as much as the Unique wheel... but total is well under $1400... that's like almost $500 saved.

Thanks guys! You've really helped me.

We want photos after install

Okay... we applied for the Discount Tire credit card and got 12 months interest free.

So thanks to the links and advice I got from the forum, I chose five BFGoodrich ATs size 33x10.5x15. And five 15" MB72 black alloy wheels. Black lugs and TPMS rebuild. Total $1525 after taxes, install, fees and whatnot.

He had to order them in from Arizona, as well as the 5th tire. (They only carry 4 of each tire usually.)



The guy at Discount Tire was very reluctant to order these wheels, but I brought in a print out of the thread by Discount Tire Direct saying they don't rub at all. Once that was out of the way the only problem I kept running into was that he kept trying to order only 4 of everything... 4 tires, 4 wheels, 4 sets of lugs, etc...

I kept telling him, I NEED FIVE!!!!
