At the risk that this has been asked before - what 15" rims will clear the brake calipers on my '02?

It wouldn't be as simple as the steelies off an xj, would it?

I was just about to ask the same question. Im looking for a brand and model number as opposed to "X amount of backspace will clear". 02 cant differ much from 06 Rim wise.

15" Cragar Soft 8's will clear the calipers. I know, I have them.

What was the Width, off-set, backspacing on those wheels?

Whats our bolt pattern, 5x4 1/2? I dont remember.


Man these rims are inexpensive.

I was looking at getting a 31x12.50R15 tire if I could do enough trimming. They require a 10 inch rim.

I would be VERY surprised if you could fit a 12.5" tire on a kj! Try a 9.5" MAX!

265/75 is supposed to be 10.50 and alot of guys here run 265/75.

Any tire could fit with enough modifications.....

If you don't mind extreme rubbing(more so in the rear) that you will never get rid of until you get a min of 5" of lift then go for the 12.50's.265/75's are way thinner than 12.50's and they require alot of trimming to fit and be able to offroad.
