The factory lug nuts are larger in diameter when compared to the smaller diameter lug nuts we sell for the MB72. Your factory lugs will work but the MB72 utilizes a smaller diameter recessed lug hole which means there is a high chance that the face of the wheel around the lug holes will be marred anytime you need the lug nuts removed when using the factory lug hardware. We recommend the smaller diameter lug kit. The cost is only $45.00 and the kit includes extra lug nuts for the spare assembly.

As far as the hub centric rings go, they are not needed but they do make centering the wheel on the hub much easier.

The 33x12.50-15 size will certainly mount up on an 8" wide wheel but for optimum wear BFG recommends running this size on wheels that have rim width from 8.5" to 11".

A 10" wide wheel will work on your application (assuming the correct offset) with 33x12.50 tire's. The assemblies will stick out a good amount so you may experience some tire rub while articulating off-road. The only option that we know to work in the 15x10 size is the Black Rock D-Window (linked below).

15X8 5x127 MB Motoring Razor Wheel/Rim
Finish:Black Machined Face
Size:15X8
Bolt Pattern:5-127
Offset / Backspacing:-19mm Offset / 3.7 Inch Backspace
Yes it will work for you. The 15x8 ET-19 MB Razor will clear the brakes on the JK without spacers or modifications to the calipers.

We've been running the MB72s in 15" for almost year now and the finish has stood up to some abuse and customer service at DT was great at our local - Bellingham branch. Prices and quality service can't be matched.


QUESTION: I'm looking for some 37x12.5x15 Interco TrXus MTs and I know they are around and I know DT can get them. So is there any way to find out for fact a time frame on them and cost if they are readily available?? They'd be coming to the Bellingham store. The fiance wants to get ride of 35s and get some 37s sooner or later.

Thanks,
Nate

We do not mail order Interco tires but the store in Bellingham should be able to assist you. You'll need to contact that store directly for availability and out the door pricing

We use adhesive stick on weights which are placed inside the barrel of the wheel.

Thanks. I ordered the last tire and wheel separately and the tire place used the rim style. I will have them change them. I hate being on a budget and only ordering one tire and wheel a month. LOL.
