Total lift

wow 15x14's? that's a reeeeelly wide wheel.

 

[ROade]

yea, I'm hoping their not tooooo wide

You're gonna have a problem, I think. I'm running 36x12.5 TSLs on my 77 with 7.5" lift and just do clear(good enough) at full flex. A 15.50 on a 14" wheel is going to be ALOT wider than my 12.50s on 10" wheels. Some TJ flares would give you alot of sheetmetal clearance in areas where you will need it most with really wide tires.
How much offset do those 14" wide wheels have? You may run into a problem with the lugs on those swampers wanting to grab the front leaf springs when turning hard, and the rear tires rubbing the wheelwell when flexed hard.

That just meens that it is time to do a little cutting. If they hit the leaf springs, just don't turn really sharp.

That is a really good price, so I say go for it and see how you like it!!

 

[ROade]

well, we have a problem
we got the tires on the rims, but,
noone can seat the beads,errrr
they tried a cheater can(I dont think they had enough air pressure in it)
blowing them on with ether
no luck

 

[88Wrangles]

Did you take them to a tire shop yet?

 

[ROade]

yep,5 tire shops and even a big truck tire shop (truck stop)
gonna have to get rims not so wide, a friend has some 15x10's I can use for now

 

[Junkpile]

Yeah, the 14" rim is stretching it a bit with those 15.50s. You should still be able to get them to seat though. A 12" wheel would be my choice to square it up a little and keep the tire carcass from distorting so much around turns and under hard accelleration, but a 10" will be fine, especially if you play in the rocks.
