i want to go with a 15" black steel wheel. what BS should i look for? i have no lift yet, but that is coming. i think i want to go with 15" wheels to help out with tire selection. I've read several threads on this but most had subtle differences in measurements so it kinda threw me.

5x4.5 bolt pattern 16x7 4.5 BS... will these fit, with and without a lift?

-5x4.5 is the right stud pattern.
-16x7 rim is a standard size for the KJ
-4.5 backspacing should work depending on
-What size tire are you planning to go with?

there are only a select few on 15" rims that will fit on the kj that can clear the caliper, keep that in mine.

yeah, thats what i've been reading. the funny thing is, i could get 15" wheels and 31x10.50's for cheaper than or the same as buying comparable sized tires for 16" wheels. these are the wheels i am wanting. http://www.quadratec.com/products/92602_4XX_B_PG.htm i'm sure they are the same as soft 8's but i would hate to take that gamble. maybe i could order just one and see what they look like, fitment-wise. i read a post where someone got 15's and they fit fine now but he didnt know what they would fit like after he got new brake pads. that would be a BIG can of worms down the road when you find out they dont fit with new pads.
