I thought I had heard that 15" wont clear the brakes except for the 5 spoke Rubicon wheels. I believe the new Wranglers may have 16" wheels |

I heard that the wrangler rims will need wheels spacers to clear |

15" Cherokee, Grand Cherokee or Wrangler rims will not clear the tie rod ends. Tried that. |

uuummmhh do you folks realize there are other sections to the LOST forum including -um Wheels and Tires http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewforum.php?f=8 in general - the only 15's that will fit are steel - it'll clear the brake calipers - Crager's are a known good. Cast aluminum won't - need at least 16" |

I have the 16" moabs that were OE on wranglers on my CRD and they fit. There is a little rubbing at full lock due to the extra inch of width but they fit nicely with 245/75's on them with an amount of rubbing I can live with. I also have the OME lift so that helps with clearance. |

Any 16" wheel that fits the old TJ Wrangler should be ok. You can try to find a set of MOABs or look at new Mamba copies of Moabs. I run the 16 x 7 Mambas' and they fit fine and no rubbing at all with 255 width tirex. Mambas are stocked by Quadratec |

one of the caveats on the Moab's - the originals were 8" wide virtually every tire that will fit in a KJ wheelwell - will work better on a 7" rim (check the tire manufacturer's recommended rim size for you favorite tire) |

I also have the OME lift so that helps with clearance. Same setup here. My Frankenlift is starting to sag/settle in because I'm getting a little more rubbing lately. 25K on the lift so far. |
