15" eight lug wheels?
« on: Jul 30, 2011, 07:32:38 AM »
I'm putting a pair of full width eight lug axles under my Jeep, (soon to be in the buildup section I hope!)  and have a dilemma.  I picked up a set of 44" super swampers to run as my snow tires.  I also have my 37" Iroc radials that are a great rock tire, although I will be going to a 39/40 real soon.  Issue is both of these sets are 15" tires.  I can have a set of 15" wheels made, and pretty sure I can modify the new 4wheel disc brakes to accept them.  I would like to hear from anyone with experience and/or advice in this area?  I see a set of 17" 40's in my future, but the project budget is gone for now and I'm trying to get it on the trail as soon as I can.  Any one have a set of 15" eight lug wheels for sale?  Thanks for your help.........

You can buy 15" 8 lug rims from summit.  They are typically not listed on their site but they do sell them, you just have to call them and tell them what you want.
Build it right or get off the trail

Thanks guys for the info.  I ended up going to Vintigue Wheel out of Fresno.  They used to do a wheel they called their Super Truck Series.  Had some old parts laying around and made me a heck of a deal.  I got to order the backspacing and another little custom thing that I do to all my wheels. :)  Also came with Powder coating in any color from their chart.  All in all a good experience...
