This thread sold me on the 15 inch MB72's. Put 35 inch Falken Wildpeaks around them and installed them this past Saturday. Thank you Discount Tire... loving the setup!

Just wanted to see if anyone can confirm that the 15 inch Black Rock Vipers clear the calipers and don't require any additional work to be done on the JK. Anyone running these with the 33 inch Duratracks on an otherwise stock rig? Any chance of a few pictures? Looking to place an order but don't want buyers regret...

Not sure about the Vipers, but I just bought a set of 15" Blackrock 909s D-windows and they clear, though EVERY vendor I spoke to told me they didn't. In fact there are images posted here of these wheels being successfully test fit, and sales help from the same company that posted the pics said.. they won't fit.
If you can't find someone who is already running them, buy one and test fit it yourself.

Waiting on TC to get back to me on a package, but will the MB72s with 33x12.5x15 fit on the stock spare tire mount, or what do I need to know to get it back there? It's for my 07 unlimited Sahara.
