WILL 15 RIMS FIT ON A JK?

Writer David Wilson

You’re right that 15″ rims will fit on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler. If you want to go larger than the stock tires, though, it gets complicated.

Yes, 15″ rims will fit on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler

The answer to the question of whether 15″ rims will fit on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler is yes. However, you can only go from a 31″ to 32″ tire if you want to keep your stock rims and tires. If you want to upgrade your vehicle’s appearance and performance, bigger wheels are the way to go.

It depends on the offset of your current rims and tires.

The offset of your current rims and tires is the distance from the centre of the rim to the outside edge of the tire. It changes depending on whether you’re looking at a front or rear wheel, but it can also vary between different vehicles.

In short, if you want to use 15″ wheels on your JK, it helps if they have an identical or similar offset as your stock setup so that everything fits together nicely. That way, all else being equal (which isn’t always true), everything will just work out as planned!

If you have stock rims and tires, you can use a larger rim but you can only go from a 31″ to 32″ tire.

If you have stock rims and tires, you can use a larger rim but you can only go from a 31″ to 32″ tire. You can also go from a 32″ to 33″ tire, but it’s best not to exceed the stock height by too much since your suspension could be overloaded. Otherwise, if you have bigger rims and tires on your car already and want to drop some pounds off of it by switching back down to the factory setup, then yes; 15-inch wheels will work just fine!

If you have stock rims and tires, you can use a larger rim but you can only go from a 32″ to 33″ tire.

If you have stock rims and tires, you can use a larger rim but you can only go from a 32″ to 33″ tire. The larger the rim, the larger the tire and vice versa. The larger the tire, the larger your lift will be.

If you have stock rims and tires, you can use a larger rim but you can only go from a 33″ to 34″ tire.

If you have stock rims and tires, you can use a larger rim but you can only go from a 33″ to 34″ tire. This is because the larger tire will have a bigger diameter and will have to be mounted on a larger rim.

You are correct, the offset of the wheel is what determines what size lift or leveling kit is needed if any.

If a 15-inch wheel has less than an inch of offset, you could use it with a stock JK. The offset is determined by the distance between the centre of the hub and the centre of the wheel.

  • A 7-inch lift kit will give you 2 inches of clearance over stock.
  • A 3/8-inch spacer lifts your Jeep 1/2 inch.
  • You can also add 2 inches of suspension travel by swapping in longer shocks and adding spacers to your coil springs (also known as “lift springs”).

Conclusion

It is possible to put a 15-inch rim on your jeep, but it depends on the offset of the wheel and what size tires you currently have mounted. If you have stock rims and tires, you can use a larger rim but you can only go from a 31″ to 32″ tire. This is because your current tires are too small and will rub against the fender in order to fit the new wheels.
