15 inch rims

[HARDTRAILZ]

I have been wanting a set for more sidewall and cheaper tire options and picked up a set that I thought might work cheap. I really have an odd desire to have an extra set of swampers, might be a waste, but its my money and time. I test fitted them and they will work. I need to measure backspacing and such, but they clear the calipers. 15x8 basic white wagon wheels

Tight! Fit, that is.

Good deal! Maybe some DIY beadlocks once you're rolling on the new setup, too

HHHHMMMM....Not a bad idea at all. Need to do some research. Would be pretty sweet and cheap since i snagged these for 50 for the set.

Not too expensive really. Finding lots of info on pirate.

Very cool man!!! Just a concern... you could have an issue if you wedge a rock in there while wheeling. I like the White!!!

Thought of that, but I know some jeep guys that actually grind their calipers to fit 15's and they have had no issues I have ever heard about.

The small backspacing on those rims may be why they worked. The rim gets narrower further in it appears (as most do). I know someone tried 15" rims a while back and actually did have interference.

I can't imagine you needing any more trimming, so these may end up fitting, if maybe with a smaller tire.

33's or 35's(since they usually actually measure closer to 34.? and will be aired down) if only for offroad. Gearing in low range should handle it ok. I dont mind cutting more fender. I would love to cut more and run a tube lip, but dont have a reason, yet.

The rims wouldnt fit if they were wider. I didnt think they would fit after i picked them up, but figured I would try them. I got lucky, I figured it would take a few tries to find some that would work.

I love that look on jeeps and would love to do something similar. I agree larger tires are almost a requirement to fill in the void, though. My fenders are barely holding on as is, the lower mounting location is going to raise the white flag one of these days

So the rims themselve were a 15x8 + 1.3 spacer/adapter, but did you ever figure out the actual backspacing of the rim? This obv would be a perfect snug fit so im just trying to figure out the math.

They measured 3.75 or 3-7/8 somewhere right about there. Basically just under 4 inches.
