Re: Wrangler wobble
Ah, just read about Backspacing. The wheels are minimal as they stick
out a half inch outside of the 4.75" fender flares. Thanks. Comments
or suggestions. I assume here that the tire sellers and wheel sellers
may or maynot calulate anything?!?!

Re: Wrangler wobble
If the back spacing is changed it changes the 'wheel centerline' in relation
to the axle hub which will affect the other suspension and handling
characteristics.
All that the rim retailer cares about is that your check clears the bank.
You know the answer now..... you had no wobble before the new tires and rims
so the problem is either the tires, the rims, or a combination of the two.
If you still have your old tires you can remount them on the new rim, this
might tell you if the tires are defective
Good luck, let us know what you find out.

Re: Wrangler wobble
I would be jacking up each corner and hand rotate the tires to see if
one is out of round or has a belt bad so is S shaped.
