Was someone rude last time? Actually from what I have seen there are a few guys on here with the black steelies in 15". not sure about offset though.

I posted a question about a cold air kit for a crd, and got doo doo for asking a stupid question. Gail banks and other make these for most diesel trucks so i guess theyre stupid too. LOL




But anyway thanks for your input. :lol:

No personal experience, but I remember reading that there was only one 15" wheel that would work. Rockcrawler or something similar was the brand. 4X4 section would be the best resource for this info. I don't think the CRD is any different than the gassers when it comes to brakes and clearances. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong. Just for my own curiosity, what is the attraction with 15" wheels? Tire availablity or off road cushioning from the higher sidewall? Not being saracastic, I just don't know.

More selection of tires - 31x10.5 size is MUCH cheaper than a 245/75/16 ....


I'm pretty sure I've seen articles with KJ's wearing 15" rims, but not 100% certain. And those have been older KJs anyway. If I had to guess, tho, I'd guess no ....

I test fit some ranger 15" aluminium on mine and they were close to the caliper in the front but they didn't rub the rear has plenty of room. If you are buying new wheels the store should be willing to let you test fit them.

Hey, where did you get your 20" wheels? Also, anything special you had to do when installing them?

Got wheels and tires on ebay, had to get suspension lift in order for them to fit. I got the lift kit from rusty's offroad.The wheels Obviously lessened my fuel mileage, but witth the SP DIESEL module it made it much better with the 20's.
