I have a set of BFG TA's 31X10.5 (about 1/2 tread) on a set of 15X8 (4.25 backspacing). Will these fit on my stock 2008 KK?

A lot of times people with KJ/KK's shy away from 15" rims because they do not allow for caliper clearance. I have heard of a couple of wheel manufacturers that do make a rim that will clear the calipers, but I can't recall which one.

Hopefully someone will be able to answer that.

Just looking to see if anyone has tried or heard of using them. Just had a blizzard so i haven't been able to measure. They're still on my cherokee and my KK stocks are going bald. If its possible, i would be nice to not spend $ on tires right now.

Caliper clearance may be an issue

Are there any sensors to worry about? I think there is a tire pressure sensor?

I would say the wheels are too wide as well, plus the tires too big, maybe able to squeeze the tires on the stock wheels but have to watch turning etc.

never mind they're 15 inch:Bye:

Unlifted? there is little to no chance of those fitting without major rubbage. On KJ's at least most aftermarket steelies will clear the caliper.

TPM's are entirely inside of the tire, mounted on the rim, so they are not an issue
