I was looking into buying a new set of wheels & tires for my ride, next summer... I came upon this in an ad:  They are 31-10.50-15 tires on what seems to be actual Jeep rims (Wrangler?). They do look nice but I'm worried the rims would actually rub on the calipers (mine being a Libby). Anyone who already tried to install something similar? Thx! |

Its been said that aluminum wheels are too thick to clear the calipers. I run steel 15s, and I couldnt imagine any thicker constructed wheel fitting over the caliper. The steel 15s clear the caliper by less than 1/4". I highly highly doubt the aluminum wheels would be a worthwhile buy. |

you can run them but have to use spacers to fit over the brakes so after buying the wheels, spending 200 bucks on good spacers ( Spidertrax) so the question is why not just buy wheels that fit |
