Will the factory TPMS work/fit in the MB wheels or others you sell for the JK?? Im not sure if there in the valve stem, or clamp to the wheel. Info please...

Also, what is the biggist tire on a 15 x 8 wheel??

Looking at MB72 15x8 polished with 33-12.5-15 Dura trac's on my 2013 JK 2 door. As of now I do not have any lift, will a 2" BB be enough with that combo?

Thanks Smitty

yes the factory TPMS work with the MB wheels... they are just quoted in the OP b/c if you mail order them balanced and ready to mount you can't swap in your TPMS without the right tools... if you order them from a local Discount tire, or buy them unmounted from the internet to have installed at a tire shop, they can swap the OEM TPMS into the wheels no problem.

I run a 35x12.5x15 on my 15x8 so you will have no problems with a 33... you most likely won't need a lift to clear 33's (might have to chop your from air damn, worst case you might end up getting a leveling kit), if you want to run 35's you will need to get at least a budget boost.

Correct, thank you for chiming in.

I'll just add one thing. Yes, it is possible to run a 33" tire without any lift but some modifications are usually needed. A 2" BB or a leveling kit will reduce and sometimes eliminate modifications needed to run a 33" tire as long as your wheels have the correct backspace/offset. (tires are like shoes, some run larger than others.)

Go with the 15x10 D-Window alloy and these will look outstanding! (and it will help them wear better than on a 15x8 as well.)

So is the pricing in the original message still possible. Seems like 5 35s for 1500 delivered doesn't seem to be viable anymore if I try to build it up with all of the rebates in place. If not, what is the current least expensive way to get into a set of 5 35s at this time.

Pricing has changed in since the creation of this thread 2 years ago but we still guarantee the lowest out the door price Best way to save is to purchase through our eBay store. Check out this link for more details (promotion ends 11/4!)

If I wanted to order the wheels and tires through the ebay deal but still wanted them mounted and with sensors, I assume i shoudl order first, then call up and add to the order?
