Hello. I have a 2006 Wrangler X with the 6-speed manual tranny and Dana 30 in the front and 35 in the rear with the 3.07 gearing. I will be putting a 3.5 inch Rubicon Express lift on it with 33 X 12.5 tires. Here is the question that I am not sure of:
My stock rims are 15 X 7. I know I need a 10 inch wide rim to accommodate the 12.5 inch wide tires. Can I put a 16 X 10 rim on my Wrangler without causing any problems, or would I be better off just putting a 15 X 10 rim on it? I was considering a 16 inch rim just the for the extra 1/2 inch of lift. I originally wanted a 4 inch suspension lift, but I don't want the expense of changing out the CV driveshaft or the SYE. So I thought the 16 inch rim versus the 15 inch rim would give me the extra 1/2 inch that I won't be getting from the suspension lift. I don't know if you need this info, but my current tires are 215/75/15 and are 28 inches. Any insight to potential problems a 16 X 10 rim might cause would be great. THANKS!
