15" tires on 14" truck?

I've never looked, all I know is the stock first gen steelies are narrow as heck even some of the 15's, the first set of 225 70 15's I put on my '97 I had some Ranger steelies up front that made those things look like balloons and some stock Jeep aluminum in the back that must have been 8" and they looked silly narrow... couldn't put the Jeep wheels up front because of the center hole and the offset is goofy...

15’s had both 6” and 7” width stock, not sure any got 8” wide stock. I run aftermarket 15x8 steel wagon wheels on my Choptop. With not running beadlocks yet, I prefer sucking the beads in some to help keep them seated with lower air pressure. Of course, that also forces me to run a lower pressure to keep my contact patch proper… running 35x12.50 tires on that…

Then he’s still wrong because the Ranger 14” rims are 14”x6”

There were definitely some 14x5.5 steel Ranger wheels, but don't know the years. I think I even seen some personally. Maybe the set that Dad used to use on his utility trailer which were originally on an 84.

and if you find some cheap enough jeep wheels, they are 5x4.5 from 87-06 on the wranglers, all comanche years, 84-99 or 00 on the grand cherokee, 84-01 on all regular xj cherokees. they have some decent looking wheels on some jeeps and the center cap hole is sometimes the same size as ford center caps ( i have ford center caps painted silver on my wrangler 16 inch wheels)
