noobie wheel question

[JandJjk]

so i understand you need proper backspacing or a wheel spacer to run larger tires.
Does anyone run a 15 in rim with the 4.25 backspacing or do you pretty much have to run 17's? i have had a hard time finding 15's with the right 5x5 bolt and 4.25 backspacing i just want a basic black steel rim something affordable that i can mash up and not break the bank with.

Many 15" steel wheels will fit with the proper backspacing. However, some won't because of not enough brake caliper clearance. I would talk to a good vendor like Discount Tire and ask them what they have that is a confirmed fit.

Oh that makes sense so 17 are the safe bet for a jk then

Provide they are correct back spacing and bolt pattern, they should. What wheels are you looking at?
