Just bought mine last week but the salvage yard has to have it shipped in from Oregon....should be in next week

Next to impossible to find in Arizona!

Would love to fit 15" wheels but Im not sure Im going to be able to make them fit.

i've asked alot on this subject being that i'm getting ready to go through with this and everyone says that you can grid the calipers down and make the 15" rims fit. that is what i plan to do. there just aren't any 16" tire sizes that i am interested in.

There is a few places that make custom 15" wheels that will fit with no grinding but you are looking at about 3.5 to 4 inches of offset. Yikes... my Jeep is getting wider by the minute. I'll have to have a custom trailer built.

Jeepgod...

What width tires are you going to run? Im assuming you are going to run TSL SX's...correct?

yeah i'll be running the 38x14.50 sx's. as for the width this is the plan. my old axles ( scout dana44 and 60 rear) were 60" wide and i ran 35x15 tsl's on 15x11" beadlocks with 3.5" backspacing. with my new setup i got a dually 14bolt rear end from a cab and chasis truck that measures 62inches wide (the standard 14bolt measures 67") i am going to narrow my front dana60 to match. well this will leave me with axles that are 2" wider than my old. well if i get a set of 15x10" rims with the same 3.5" backspacing this will put my track width back the way it was. add onto it the fact that the 38's are 1/2" narrower than my 35's were. see doesn't it work out nice. 15" rims will fit on a 14bolt with no problem it is just the front 60. i will run into a problem because i am going to make my own rear disc brakes using parts from another dana60 that leader has. nothing a grinder won't take care of though.
