Hey guys it's prob been done to death on here but after a search still couldnd find what I'm after.

The question is will a 15x8 with a 3.5 backspace and -25 offset fit my TJ?

ATM I'm running 31s but planning on going to 33" or 35" and don't want to have to get another set of rims down the track.

yes they will. but you will need to run min 7inch flares to keep the tyres covered. I run -19 with 6inch flare atm and its right on the edge. will be running -30 in a couple of weeks.

I know I'd have to get the flairs done.

Just wasn't sure if they would work and the wheel place I've been talking to had no idea lol.

What's the smallest offset and back spacing need to run a 33 and 35.

Talk to Greg (flexyTJ) at G and S tyres in sommerville. He was very helpful over the phone and can supply you the correct rims for your tyres.

I might send him a msg.
ATM I'm running a 31 but the stock rims like to collect mud and upsets the balance.
So I want to upgrade rims but when I go bigger later I dont want to change rims again.
