so i found some wheels from this fellow i know whos got a badass jeep... anyway
they are 15x8 with i believe 4" backspacing... should i run these on my zuk? i got a 2" body lift and plan on putting on 235 75 r15's will i have rubbing ,bumpsteer?, bearing wear issues? ???
they are american racing wheels, decent shape and he wants only $20.00 for all four.
he's good people.

yes you can run them as long as they are from a CJ if they are from a YJ or TJ they will have the wrong bolt pattern. 15x8 is a little wide for a 235 tire but shouldn't be too bad.

I have 15 x 8 American Racing wheels and 235 BFG AT's on my Tracker. It has a two inch suspension lift. They rub on the bumper cover at full lock and on the inner fender cover on a small amout of turn. The bumper cover was an easy fix. I just trimmed it with a Dremel. The inner fender can be fixed with a bit of metal cutting or a BFH.
If you like the wheels, I say buy them.

They should work just fine 8)

why is it that i now have the 235's and I do not have any rub under full lock?

Different offset or different tyre diameter. Your steering stops are adjusted up.

I think I have about 3.5 inches of backspacing on an 8 inch wide wheel. That makes the tire and wheel stick out pretty far. The tires are 235 BFG's A/T's so they are just a brush over 29 inches tall.
That's why mine rub. :D

they are 3" backspacing and 5 in the front.. i think that they are going to stick way the hell out of my fenders... ;D (sweet)
but does that make them rub at full lock, and other turning angles? or is it the other way around??
will the 235's work on a 8" wheel? i dont want to get my wheels real huge because of decreased speed and power.
-
THe correct back spacing is 3 and 3/4 on all american racings aluminum wheels. Unless its a steel wheel it can be different.

i think that i had it wrong the first time i wrote this,,
they are 5" in the back and 3" in the front, ,, i put one on and it stuck out 3"s from the stock fender "flares". i already got them cleaned and primed, paint tomarrow moring....
so what tires should i go for in the next couple of days? i dont want refurbished ones, or used in anyway,, this is my daily driver and i dont want to die just yet.
i want a AT tire, but with good wear and reasonable price, ohh yeah maybe not to much noise too... Is that too much to ask for. :P

BF Goodrich A/T KO's
I love mine so far. Sams and Walmart are carrying them now the prices are getting better.

Walmart also carries a AT tire called Liberators that are really cheap and a decent tire driving wise, I am pretty sure they are made by BF Goodrich for Walmart. I am on my second set, and had the first set forever it seemed like and never once had a problem out of them, I think put over 50k on them. If I had the extra money I would probably go for the Goodrich A/T's though...They are just a good looking tire.
