Tread is about a 1/3 or so. should be good for 10,000 miles or better.

15's are TIGHT. Rear was tighter than front. The thicker aluminum rims were tighter than the steel I had test fitted. 3.5 inch backspacing and I could not got anymore. I am not worried though, plenty of JK guys I wheel with actually gring down the calipers a bit to fit 15's. The steel I test fit on the front were 15x8 w 3.75 inch BS and fit the same so test fitting is HIGHLY recommended if trying to run 15s. I gave 50 bucks for the wheels so I didnt mind if they didnt work out.
I hate to advocate weird chemicals, alcohol, violence or insanity to anyone...but
they've always worked for me.
