Switching to a 15' rim?

[ride4lamar]

All I found a set of mastercraft glacier grip tires on jeep rims for a good deal $300, but, id be switching from a 16" to a 15". I am assuming ill have no problem switching over for the winter but just wanted to make sure before I bought them

What type of Jeep wheels ? If they are 15 inch stock wheels then will not fit over the calipers.

Better off to keep the factory 16 inch rims/wheels and buy tyres for them!

awesome, thanks for the help!!

15" would work only if the rims clear the calipers, and you use something like 245/70/15 tires, to keep the overall circumference about the same. As stated though, I don't think any 15" rim would clear the calipers without a spacer or different offset.

15" aftermarket Steel wheels will fit OK. 15" Jeep OEM Wheels or 15" Aluminum rims won't work. I am running 15x7" Cragar Black D's with 32x11.50's

to keep the same overall size would be a 235/75r15

a 245/70r15 would be 10 mm wider and .5 shorter then stock

Decided I'm just going to go with an all season (don't really get the KJ off road so I wont be missing it there)

Probably looking at about 500 or so for the set of four

I hate to point it out so late in the thread.. but the topic says " 15' (FOOT) rim? "

I figured it was a typo, but I had to look and post about it anyways. bored at work.

Do you get alot of rubbing at full lock? I've got 31x10.5s on 15x8 Soft 8's and they rub like crazy at full lock. Even with the pinch welds mashed into the body!!
