Well, I'm still trying. 15x8- 3.75"bs ( Allied steel or Ultra alloy) fits, but sticks waaaay out there (my XJ) 15x8- 4.75"bs (Allied steel) hits front calipers (freinds XJ) 15x7- 4.0"bs (Eagle alloy) just fits over calipers & don't stick out too much (camaro's front) 15x7- 5.25"bs (steel) hits calipers (stock XJ) I have seen some of you have 15x7's & 15x8's. What hits - what fits? I'm looking at some Ultra type 50's in 15x7- 3.75"bs or some American type 23's in 15x7- 3.75"bs. They are both 5-spoke style, and under $100 each. I don't think they would stick out too far with a 31x10.5 tire. But, none of the shops here have them in stock, I don't want to pay a restocking fee if they don't fit. Any ideas? |

I've got 15" US steel Rock crawlers with 3.750" BS and have rubbing/cut tires. I'm going to switch to 4.750" or even 5" BS. Trust me, I measured the cuts and how much more they need to clear. |

Were those 15x7 or 15x8 wheels that had 3.75"bs ? It sounds like 15x8's to me, they did stick way out there. I tried a set of Allied black steel (Datona) wheels in a 15x8- 4.75"bs that a freind had on his XJ with 31's. The "bulge" on the inside were the center is welded in was hitting on the brake caliper. I don't know how people are getting them to fit. |

Mine were 15x8 4.5 BS - They said MOAB (in red) on the box but I believe from what the 4x4 shop told me they are all made by the same place in Mexico. Ill call the guy and ask him. IM puting in my 1/2 spaces tonite and will take some pics. PS IM adding another 3/8 to the Frakinlift Bumpstops and bending up the offending metal - WIll post pics. |

Yep, I rolled the metal on the front of the rear well by the door after it cut my tires. |
