Got my 5 new Level 8 Punch Wheels and 33 x 12.5 x 15 Goodyear Duratracs mounted up Wednesday night and took off for the trails in North Arkansas on Friday. Thanks to the guys at DTD for all their help. Ordered from DTD on Monday and received Wednesday evening. 
Love the look of the Punch wheels. The Duratracs performed well offroad, mostly rocks but some mud, and are much smoother and quieter on the road than my OEM BFG MTs.
Here's Betty with her new shoes.

All cleaned up and ready to go again Attachment 547339

New Wheel and Tire Package on the way!
To Discount Tire;
Just wanted to let you know that I called DTD customer service to get some info, talked to RJ. He answered all my questions and then asked if I was ready to order. I told him I was and he got me all set up and even got me a little better deal than the online quote. So thanks to you, the info in this thread and RJ, I will be receiving a new set of Goodyear Kevlars on Black Rock D's with new TPMS. I will try to remember to post some pics once they are on the Jeep. Thanks again.

Hi, I'm new here and I saw this thread while searching for more information about 15inch wheel on google. I'm really interested in the Level 8 Tracker Full Matte Black but I saw there's 2 model and it's almost the same. Could someone explain me the difference between the 15x8 -30mm and 15x8 -19mm. I want to be sure which one to buy 
I maybe know the difference but I'm really not sure, I think it's the offset and the -30mm is 3.30 backspacing and the -19mm is 3.75 .
Thanks!

I really wish I would've seen this thread before I bought my wheels and tires. I have probably one of the heaviest setups with 35x12.50r15 General Grabbers at like 74lbs each and then just a d window steel wheel...lost so much power off the weight.

Generally speaking, the lower the offset/backspace the further the wheels will push out towards the fender. In this case the -30mm offset is the lowest. Compared to where the 15x8 ET-19 Tracker sits, the 15x8 ET-30 Tracker will sit 1/2" further out. Both offsets work but the 15x8 ET-19 is the most common.

For reference, this model in the -19mm offset will sit approximately 1" to 1.25" past the fenders.
