15” wheel question

[Cmmarion]

I just wanted to be 100% positive. Which one is better for fitment; 15x7 with 4” bs? Or 15x7 with 4-1/4” bs??

How much/what kind of lift do you have?

 

[Cmmarion]

2.5” ome

Depends on tire size as well
I have over 3” of lift, 31s and 15x7 TM5 wheels with 4” BS and it is extremely close to rubbing at full lock even with pinch welds flat and bumper trimmed
Tires stick out exactly where I like it, about an inch outside the fenders at most and has the perfect stance IMO

Thanks for the information.

2-2.5" lift. 30x9.5's Grabbers with pinch welds hammered over and front plastic heated and molded out of the way. No rubbing.with 4.5” backspacing on wheels

Have you measured how much space you have between the tire and pinch weld and full lock? Also take into account turning while having compression through bumps and I bet it’s pretty close to rubbing
That’s the only time I get close to have rubbing issues
If you went with a more aggressive tire which made them slightly larger and ran 4” backspacing it’d be much closer to rubbing which is why I stated that tire size is important as well as what backspacing you choose
I have 31” Goodyear Authority’s which have very aggressive tread for an A/T and it’s pretty much pushing it to the limit being at about 3.25” of lift
This looks like a good setup for 2.5” though

I was originally running the much more aggressive Cooper SST Pro's and never rubbed those either. The wheel well plastic by fog light access flaps was the primary issue for me until I heated and molded it more forward.

 

[Cmmarion]

So is 4-1/4” bs better than 4”?

 

[jeeplib05]

The lower the number for backspacing, the further out the wheel will sit
So yes that would be better

I just purchased the soft 8’s 15x7 4” bs and 30x9’s. Cooper SST. Looks like I will be doing some banging today!!
