Hi,
I've got a good chance to get brand new BFG's on 15" steel rims (from 98 TJ) for $500.00 for a friends libby.
My question is would these fit?
It has the 17" alum wheels now.

Most 15" steel wheels will clear the brake calipers. 15" Aluminums don't.

are they the stock steel rims on the TJ ? They may not fit as only the soft 8s etc in 15 inch fit well

I would check them real close on the front of the Libby before you buy, there is a litle difference between soft 8s and production steel wheels

Good point. I didn't think about that.

Correction: Most aftermarket 15" steel wheels will clear the calipers.

There is some clearancing of the caliper necessary for stock Jeep 15s to be bolted on to a KJ

they look like they would work stumpjumper but what BS are you going to get? once you lift it you'll want less BS, 4" is what most get after they lift.

i don't know the backspacing. All jc waitawhile has to say is that they are custom fit to wrangler with 5x4.5 bolt pattern
