Will Rims and tires fit?

['00 offroad expl]

I have a 2000 explorer spt. I have a buddy of mine that knows where I can pick up a set of new 15X8 Jeep rims with 30X10.5 super swampers real cheep. I know have (30") 255/70R16 on my truck now. I would like to know if I could use 15X8 Jeep rims with 30X10.5 tires without spacers?

Should fit, go see if you can try them on. If they fit buy them.

I have stock 2006 Jeep Rubicon wheels and tires (unsure of size) on mine. I did end up using a sawzall out on the trail to cut out where the tires where rubbing in the rear. Also they rub a little in the front if I turn all the way.

The tires are not mounted on the rims yet. I know the bolt patern is the same and the rims clear my calipers. The stock 2006 Jeep Rubicon tires are 245/75R16 which makes them 30.5X9.5. A 10.5'' tire would be really rub. Does anyone know where online I could get 4 15X8 black steel rims for my truck with a half to one inch more of a negitive offset then stock?

Check out summit racing, decent prices and I've always had good service with them, though I do have to return a set of bulbs to them. Dead Link Removed

You should be able to find some for about $60 or so a piece.
