I really think these wheels need them. If I don't torque my wheels in the air I get a vibration around 55~65.

EDIT: It looks like TSW has an applicable ring for this set-up. We do not have them in stock but we can order them in. Give us a call at 1.888.459.4080 and anyone of our agents would be happy to set you up.

I just called and the guy I spoke with said that ring has a 70.5 bore and JK wranglers are 71.5 bore. He didn't think they would work. What do you think? Do those rings run big or something?

Sorry I gave you the wrong product. TSW does have the correct ring but it needs to be ordered in under a misc. code.

Send us a PM with your name and phone number and I'll contact you for the order.

I still kinda like the soft 8s in 15's. How much backspace do I need for them on Rubi with 2.5 teraflex coil?

Unfortunately in 15" there are no steel wheels that will clear the brakes on your JK.

I tried using the site for a search. it's all funky. I just wanna do search on brand only but won't work like before.

Any ways I'm going to order again soon I'm coming back home in feb. Did black rock get their stuff together?

Thanks for the update but seems that some on here have 15 in soft 8s. Why wouldnt it work on mine but would on theirs? Do they use spacers?

Thanks
