Please help with 15" wheel dilemma
I've searched and can't find the thread about which 15's fit and which won't
(I have a feeling iPhone app search doesn't work well cuz I've tried the same before).
Anyways...the lift is the the garage. The 35x12.50x15's have been ordered...
I'm looking for a black 15" rim.

Whoa...itchy trigger finger.
Anyways...I understand steelies can fit with some caliper trimming and I've read the whole aluminum vs steel thread...
Can someone please help me find a cheap black 15" rim that is guaranteed to fit.
Thanks in advance,
RJ

I believe if you go with a 3.75 BS instead of 4 you shouldn't have a clearance issue. I have summit racing series 164 aluminum wheels 15x8 3.75 bs no clearance issues at all. They where 96 each.

Discount Tire Direct had a thread on here about 3 or 4 months ago about a 15 inch wheel that they fit tested on a JK but I don't remember if it was steel or alloy. You could try sending them an email question, I'm sure they have an answer.

I've been doing the same research. I found a list with link by DTD in another forum. It was the same list of wheels that can be found on their website by using the search by size feature.
Basically, there are about 4 alloy wheels that are guaranteed to fit without modification. Some of them come in black or polished giving you about 10-11 options. The least expensive are around $95 each.

That's great. I'd love to buy the MB's from DTD...but shipping to Canada makes them too expensive.
I was gonna get in on the black Friday deals but they didn't have the tires I wanted in stock.
And I can't find anyone who sells MB locally.
Anyone else?

The procomp series 98's with 3.75 fit with no rubbing issues, I just mounted them on my rig with some 35x12.50's and they don't rub anywhere with a 2" BB, no caliper issues or tire rub even flexed out

I should add...
I've tried contacting MB via email i see if they have an affiliated canadian dealer but I get an immediate bounce back (mailer daemon permanent error). The website also says they are sold exclusively through DT and DTD.
:-/
Anyone know if these are sold under another name?
