Here is what i put on my new 99 4x4...American Eagle Series1189 in 15X8".
My unit still has no lift and it fits 31's no problem with the
backspacing. We tried 32's but at full lock, they did rub prettygood.
I have ordered (just today) the EZ-RIDE/Toughcountry 5" lift amd will be
trading-in the 31 Goodyear AT/S for a set of 33's. When its
completed...somewher around September...I'll let you know how it goes.
My wheel dealer told me the only ones with the factory specs were
American Racing in styles-NITRO, ATLAS, and PYTHON.
