rims on the 4wd sahara are 18x8 or 9?
was trying to finalize my tire purchase and it didn't want to sell me GY duratracs for the 08 wrangler. My guess is because the min width is 9 ideal for 9.5. has anyone run into issues. I'm going to look back through the threads to see if i see any posts on this.. Thanks

Umm, what's the question?
Can you run wide tires on narrow rims? Yes
Has anyone done it? Yes
Are there any issues? Maybe, but in general, no.
Some shops will not mount wide tires on narrow rims. Some will. Find one that does...

Yeah that was it. GY local won't mount the wrangler duratrac on the stock rim...18x7.5
But sears was all for it.. Thanks. What (if any) are the issues that may arise from doing this? What should i stay away from?
