looking for options .... wheels and tire size...im almost positive im going with revos again, i love that tire too much to switch to something else


on another post i found these Rock Crawler 15x8 wheels which i think are awesome looking (http://desertrat.com/us%20wheel/uswheel_rcmcdc.htm)

just trying to match a tire size up to it that would be a good match with the Frankenlift

You'll probably want to test fit the 15" wheels before you buy them. Most people find that they won't clear the disc brakes in the front.

Yes, they are on my "wife's" rig! :roll:

Anyway, I have 15"x8" Rock Crawlers with 3.750" backspacing, purchased from DesertRat. I've had some rubbing issues in the rear. We've got a Frankenlift with an additional 1/2" packer added in the rear. I've rolled the rear fender lip where you open the back door because it was cutting the tires when stuffed. I'm not cutting tires anymore, but I AM still rubbing the flares like nuts when stuffed. I'm going to add another 1/2" packer in the rear in the next week or so. Will this solve the problem? I don't know, but another $30 set of packers is cheaper than another set of wheels.

EOD-KJ, don't worry about sending me PM's, it's all good.......I'll help if I can.

Fantastic and congratulations on a great choice, not that I'm biased or anything. Who did you end up getting them through?
