Hello DT! the noticed 15" Black Rock D-window are -12mm offset instead of the more common -19mm, i understand they fit over the brakes, but i assume there are no issues with a 33x12.5 mounted?

Thanks!

Im running one on mine. Fit was fine, I did make sure that I made extended bumpstops to make sure that there is no movement to try and prolong tailgate and hinge life.

You are correct. If you're on stock suspension though you will have some rubbing on the front valence.

I have a question for Discount Tire, or anyone for that matter. On my 08 JK, I am looking to run the 15" Level 8 Tracker, -30mm Offset. I was told by a member of another forum, as well as a friend, that I should not do this as it puts a ton of stress on the Axles? Basically they said that I am likely to snap an axle. I seriously doubt this, but I am gonna pull the trigger on Tires and Wheels when I get my taxes back so any input would be nice.
Wheels:; 15 Level 8 Tracker
Tires: 33" Goodyear MT/R Kevlar

^Thats the setup I want.

can i get a quote on 5 level 8 trackers black 15x8 with -19 offset and duratracs 33x12.50x15?

is anyone able to tell me exactly how far they stick out past the fenders on a stock jk sport?

am i able to get the mounted and balanced with the tpms installed before they're shipped?

do you offer instillation kits with black lug nuts and extra for the spare? its okay if i have the buy a kit that has extra and do you offer any that dont require a key?

i've never used hub rings...are they something i should be considering?

Can I get a quote on 5 of the 15x8 -12mm Black Rock D-Window Alloy Full Matte Black with 35x12.50R15 BFG KM2? Also will these RIMs work with a drag link flip, they will be going on a 2008 JK with a 3.5 inch lift?


Thanks

I have never heard of low offset wheels snapping an axle on the JK. Lower offset wheels can create more stress on the wheel bearings but I haven't seen anyone running these wheels (ET-19 or ET-30) have an issue.
