Put 31's on ( 265-75-16s ) on ford ranger wheels and was surprised there was little to no rubbing now not a huge fan of these wheels but it seems these are offset more then the stock jeep wheels my question is if I put these tires on my wheels would it rub?ImageImageImage

Don't look like they are 265-75-16s maybe because they are just an AT with fairly smooth tread or something

I wish my Ford 15s would fit my KJ. I just put a set of 15" ARs on my 98 Ranger with a set of Destination ATs and have the stock 15s sitting in my garage. I've heard the jeeps will fit my Ranger but not sure vise versa. Pretty sure they won't fit my 02 KJ with the rear drums. May have to try them on the front to see what they look like.

They are traction king m/s tires and 02blue the problem with 15s is clearing the front caliper's I'm pretty sure only craiger 15s will clear them

Yes on the calipers being too big. Close but no cigar. Guess it's the geometry since the calipers don't look any bigger (diameter) than my Ranger's calipers. The KJ rotor is 3mm larger (diameter). The drums may be bigger on the KJ haven't measured yet and there are two sizes for the Ranger.

Not necessarily: Wheel Vintiques 15x7 with a 3.75" backspace clear just fine... lots of design choices there.
