8" or 10" wheels
 
Looks Like I am going to go with new wheels on my o4 TJ so I can get the
32x11.5 tires.

the 31x10.5x15's just look to small with a 2" lift.

I want 4" backspace and can only get it in the 15x10 wheel on the ones I am
looking at.

Will a 10" wheel clear everything with a 2" lift front and back?

By the way I got the Teraflex 2" and their 4 shocks. This is nice looking
stuff, can;t wait to put it on Friday.
Thanks,

Real Jeeps use ten inch rims, but you will need to convert to Real
wheel bearings to hold them:

Re: 8" or 10" wheels
 
A 10" wide wheel would be too wide for a 32x11.50 tire. A 15x8 size wheel
is actually the preferred wheelsize for even 35x12.50 tire size like I'm
running. The narrower width is more easily able to hold onto the tire bead
when the tire is aired down for offroading.

Re: 8" or 10" wheels
 
He can use his stock rims can't he Jerry?

I know my 7's are fine for a 10.5 and folks use 12.5's on them, but I
have a CJ....

He asked before and I know there is a limit on tire size or tall vs
wide, for a TJ on the stock rim, I though I saw you post that info?

Re: 8" or 10" wheels
 
Oh... stock TJ rims can generally handle up to a 32x11.50 but occasionally
the rear tire's inside sidewall might rub. The factory wheel just positions
the sidewall fairly close to the rear upper shock tower. Most don't have
any rub problems with that combination though.

Re: 8" or 10" wheels
 
Oh... stock TJ rims can generally handle up to a 32x11.50 but occasionally
the rear tire's inside sidewall might rub. The factory wheel just positions
the sidewall fairly close to the rear upper shock tower. Most don't have
any rub problems with that combination though.

Re: 8" or 10" wheels
 
Thanks for the info Jerry. Do you think there would be any possibility of
rubbing with a 2" lift installed.

I would rather go with the 32's if I can be sure they will not hit anywhere
with the stock wheels.

How about it any body actually done it?

Re: 8" or 10" wheels
 
Hi Tim,

With 32x11.50 on stock 15x7 wheels (+30mm offset?), your turning radius
will degrade. You will get some minor rubbing on the upper insides of
the wheel wells when you flex up off road. Probably barely noticeable
but there none the less.

As Jerry says, a 7" rim will hold a bead better when aired down off
road. The downside for a narrow rim is that your center lugs will wear
quicker at street PSI. You can limit wear by reducing pressure to
flatten the contact patch, but you'll end up with a squishy ride and a
lot of sidewall roll.

Consider a 15x8 wheel with +6mm offset (4.75" back spacing). This wider
wheel will provide a better contact patch for improved tread wear and
handling. The moderate decrease in offset will eliminate inside contact
while keeping the tires tucked in under your flares and it will minimize
increased strain on your bearings and seals.

Re: 8" or 10" wheels
 
Your lift will be plenty for 32" tires. The rubbing will come into
effect from incorrectly back spaced wheels. Factory backspaced wheels
are 5.5" and could potentially cause rubbing with an 11.50" wide tire,
and definitely with a 12.50" tire. I know I had NO rubbing with 31x10.50
tires on a stock TJ, although it had 5.0" BS wheels.

Re: 8" or 10" wheels
 
Your lift will be plenty for 32" tires. The rubbing will come into
effect from incorrectly back spaced wheels. Factory backspaced wheels
are 5.5" and could potentially cause rubbing with an 11.50" wide tire,
and definitely with a 12.50" tire. I know I had NO rubbing with 31x10.50
tires on a stock TJ, although it had 5.0" BS wheels.

That's incidental though, and an easy fix with a washer to the
knuckle stop. It's never bother me enough to do that.

Re: 8" or 10" wheels
 
my friend would not say incidental since we were wheeling and the tire blew
do to a sharp turn coming up a good size rock. Why rig with washers.. spend
the money on wheels and do it right
