What exact wheels did you buy?

I ordered some 15x8" wheels, 3.75" BS.
(I'm planning on some 31"x10.5" All Terrain TA's)

Is this going to work for me? (I plan on some fenderwell trimming, and if the rear rubs when the rear tires are stuffed, I'll probably install a spacer since it will level out the suspension anyways (my front is taller since I installed the frankenlift.))

Should work. I am running 15x8 with 4" backspace and 31x10.5 MTR's and the Frankenlift. I had to mash down the pinch weld and I only got very slight rubbing at times on the very front bottom of the fender flair in the front and only very slight rubbing in the rear at full stuff on the front of the fender flair. I would think with the all-terrains you won't get any since the rubbing with the MTR's is only very slight.

I have 15x8 with 4.5 backspacing.
I have the 31" MTR's too.

On road, there is no to minor rubbing. Off road, well I am still waiting to lose my rear fenders out on some trail somewhere.

Of course, my bumper and fenders are cut.

15x8 31' x 9.5; 4.5 BS
Removed fender liners, flattened pinch weld.
Full stuff on Frankenlift- I didn't install the bumpstops, but w/o fender linings, I don't get any rubbing. When I get some wider M/Ts I'm going to have to widen the fender flares because they will rub.

Some 15" wheels will work and other's won't, it really depends on the inside diameter of the wheel, as the KJ's front brakes are pretty large and the calipers may rub.
