Ok SO i have a 98 wrangler stock rims and im trying to figure out if i can just swap out the old rims with some Series 98 Steel Wheel by Pro Comp they have two different sizes they have a 15x8 wheel size with a 5x4.5" bolt pattern with 3.75 backspacing and then they have a wheel that has a 15x10 wheel size with a 5x4.5" bolt pattern and 3.75 backspacing now i just have the basic stock rims and i just bought brand new tires for them so i was trying to find out if i could swap one of theses out with the stock without to much troubleWhat is a 98 wranglers rim size and will these pro comp rims replace the stock without to much trouble?
They will bolt on, but I would doubt those wide wheels would hold your stock tires; then they will no doubt rub inside the wheel wells when turning. I would suggest at least a 2" lift kit, 4" if you go with the wider ones. You will need to get tires that fit those wheels width-wise as well or you won't get dog doo for performance.What is a 98 wranglers rim size and will these pro comp rims replace the stock without to much trouble?
you have the correct bolt pattern so that's a good start.
The rim width depends on the size tire you bought. Very rarely will you find a tire not used for pro-comp that fits on a 10" rim (running 35x13.5R15 tire or a P325/50R15 or bigger)....which i doubt
Note that the stock size tires probably will not fit well on a 8" wide rim. In general 7" rims will comfortably work with tires up to 10.5" wide (typical) , 8" wide rims work for 9.5" up to 12.5" wide tires and 10" wide rims are used for 12.5" and wider. Not knowing what tires you bought, you need to check what the manufacturer recommends for a rim width. It's very important.
Basically i'm saying unless you have very large tires on the jeep, try to stick to a 7" rim.
