I have to get new tires soon and am buying a body lift this week. I have WP shackles. I don't think I'll have a problem with clearance issues, but does anyone see any glaring problems with the following set up?
Cragar Soft 8 wheels; 15x8, 5x4.5 bolt circle, 4 in. backspace
BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T/A KM2; 33x10.5R15
Since I have to buy new tires and I know I want to go bigger, probably 33s, I thought the best way to save some money is to go down to 15" wheels. These Soft 8s are pretty standard and at $43 a piece, I can see why. I figure I'll upgrade the wheels later, as money permits.
I have been thoroughly unimpressed with the stock Wrangler tires and am a little wary of the ability of All-Terrain tires, since these are the only ones I have experience with and they are just terrible off-road. My girlfriend's brother swears by the KM2s and has converted most of his Jeep buddies to KMs by example on the trails.
Does anyone know of any issues this setup would cause or have any thoughts about a better way to do this? This site has been invaluable and I look forward to your thoughts. Thanks
