I think I've finally figured out the right setup for me! If any of you guys have any experience, advice, or thoughts I'm all ears! By the way this is for a 2014 JKU

Teraflex 1.5" Performance Leveling Kit http://m.quadratec.com/products/product.php?pid=16190+1101+07

33x12.5R15 Duratracs http://m.tirerack.com/tires/TireDet...R5WDTOWL&vehicleSearch=false&fromCompare1=yes

15x8 Black Rock D Window Wheels http://www.discounttiredirect.com/d...do?bp=5-127&fl=&pc=60384&counter=1&wd=15&rw=8

I think this should work, but i need confirmation from the forum! Thanks

Those Black Rocks are alloy and should have no problem clearing the brake caliper (you can confirm this with DTD), however it's not a huge gap. Several people advised against me using 15's if I planned on wheeling, because if gravel gets stuck between the wheel and the brake caliper it'll be all scratchy and stuff.

As far as the tire, 15"x8" is the size used on the Level 8 Trackers in the well known "Combo" people purchase from DTD (the Trackers + the Duratracs) so your 8" is fine.

Call DTD and confirm the Black Rock will clear the caliper. If they say yes, you're fine. If they say no, you can potentially grind the caliper down a bit and still fit them.

ALSO ALSO - if you order by phone, DTD has gotten weird about selling the 33x12.5R15 Duratracs to Wrangler owners who had stock 17" wheels with 255x75R17 SR-A's. They have a load index of 113, the Duratracs are (I think) 108. They work perfectly fine, and I think the KM's and Dualers on other Wranglers are lower than that, just be ready to argue.

Personally, for several reasons, I went with 285/70R17's. They're still 33's, a bit narrower than the 12.5's, and if you really want to you can use them on the stock wheels with spacers.
