Widest Rim/Tire Fit WJ?

Will a 10" wide rim clear without trimming. Im sure backspacing can help a bit. I want to know if a 15X10 Pro Comp Rock Crawler w/3.75" backspacing will fit while being wrapped in a Pro Comp 31x12.5-15 Will this clear without any trimming or slight trimming. I will have KOR 2.5" BB before this temporary setup goes on.

So 15x10" 3.75" BS rim with 31x12.5" tires? It'll probably require minor trimming on the bottom part of the front bumper when in reverse and wheels turned, but nothing major.

Thats a really wide rim and personally makes it look like a ricer(but if thats what your after, go for it) - I would go with 8" personally.

the only reason why im going with such a wide rim is because im going to eventually be going with a 36" TSL (or larger) which requires a wide rim, so i don't want to but two seperate sets of rims

well i guess i actually like the wide tire, sticking out look instead of the skinny meats

think it looks badass when the tires are wider then the chassis instead of being swallowed by it.

Yeah, but accomplish that by less backspacing or wider axles, not a wider rim (which won't push the tire out that much). Plus when you air down with a wide-rimmed wheel you'll pop a bead easier.
