tire rub?

I bought a set of 4 Sahara TJ rims. 15x10 for a reasonable price. I have 33 x 12.50 15 tires . Will they rub? I am going to use this set of rims for offtroading. I currently have 2655 75 r15 installed on stock 15x8 rims for the autobond :)

Re: tire rub?

my inexpert opinion is that they will rub if you dont have a lift. I think anything over 31 rubs without a lift.

Re: tire rub?

as long as the rims have the right offset u should b ok. if not, on ur axle housing near the lower ball joint there is an adjustment screw that acts like a "stop" to keep the wheel from turning too far... also check your break lines at full right and left, to make sure they are not going to catch on the tire.

Re: tire rub?

Stock Sahara rims are 15x8, and you will get quite a bit of rubbing unless you install more lift.

Re: tire rub?

regarless of lift, with stock rims (sahara or not), you will rub Lower Control Arms when turning lock to lock.

As far as I know, Jeep have never mass produced a 15x10 rim. The only 10" wide rim I can think of was on the SRT* grand couple years ago, but the diameter was 20" I think.

Re: tire rub?

I know that 15x8 will work. I just wasn't sure if 15x10 would work. He told me that it came off of a Sahara TJ and it was 15x10.

Re: tire rub?

Have you measured them? They look like typical 15x8 Canyon's.
