Mitch Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Anyone have 15x7 rims that don't rub when turning 33 or 35" tires? Same question for 15x8! Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWLONGSHOT Posted May 7, 2007 Share Posted May 7, 2007 Generally, the diameter of the tire is not whats hurting you its the WIDTH! The 12.5 " width tires are a problem on XJ/MJ's. The 10.5's make life and fitment MUCH easier!!! Go with at least 4.5"BS but no less than 3.75" and a 15X7 rim and you should be fine. (15X8 will work as well but remember the BS is the same.) The wider rim will push the tire out and could become and issue with the sheetmetal upon compression. This is all provided you have proper lift for that DIAMETER tire. ;) CW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
