Hey guys! So after another boring (but safe!) trip out to the sandbox I'm ready to pick up some new rubber and steel!!! I really like the new KM2s and would like to go down to 15s and get the Soft 8s. What would be the best set-up to go with and have minimal maybe no rubbing? 15x7 w/ 4" bs or 15x8 w/ 4.75" bs?

31x10.50s on the 15x7 Soft 8s. I'm going to be doing the clevis lift tomorrow...maybe some bumper trimming as well :twisted: A new front bumper is sounding more and more appealing though!

What would be the major difference with running the 15x8s vs the 15x7s? Obviously they are an inch wider but besides that?

I need some place far to drive to so I can burn some miles on my Trxus. Those look sick! I am jealous. I was ever so slightly on the fence but those pics pushed me way over. I am officially sold.

Get em! I have seen them work in person. Great tires and the wheels are hard to beat for price and durability.

So... where are the daytime pics? :D

withe the 15x8, youll have a more wider stance, and more options for wider tires.

Those are some serious lugs, and I like the sidewall traction. Very nice!
