i'm going to be putting some 33x12.50's under my jeep. anyone have any pic's of how far the tires stick out past the fenders on a nt cherokee on a 15x8 vs.a 15x10. pics from the front and rear of the jeep. or don't they stick out at all. i don't want to have the law after me for tires sticking out.

Different backspacing will have an affect.
We have a couple sets of tires on plain white spoke 15x8 wheels, 33x12.5 and 32x11.5. Pretty sure the backspacing is 3.75". They come out to the edge of the body on the 33s. 10" wide wheels may push you outside a bit.

with the 22s...

the wheels are from bj's. i think they are 3.75 backspace.
how do the tires wear on the 15x8's.

I run them around 28-30 lbs so the centers don't wear too quick. The 2nd set I installed are slightly narrowerer than the first and wear nicely.

15x8's fit the narrowtrack Jeeps really well, the 15x10's fit and look really well on the widetracks.

the wheels on a stock wt are 15x8's right?
they are the wagon wheels. i may be able to talk my dad into trading me my 15x7's for his so i can run my 12.50 tire. he will probably run a 31x10.50 so my wheels would work for him.
