Don't HAVE to go 8" to get 35's. You can get awqay with 6" and cutting the fenders. You can also save some cash by using TJ fender flares instead of getting other "cut out" flares from Bushwacker or Rusty's.

You just have to have good bumpstops, even with cutting the fenders with 8" of lift. I have 6.5" of lift on my XJ and my 33s are getting all scraped up from digging into the fenders because I don't have bumpstops at all. I'm going to cut the fenders for my 33s just so I don't have to use bumpstops and can use as much flex as I can out of it.

Price difference for rim sizes is most likely due to demand/volume.  Most people use 15" rim, so only a small amount of other sizes are manufactured, therefore price is higher.  Opposite of bulk buying.

I agree there's always a shortcut for everything. But if you've seen my rigs, that's not something I'm a fan of. I do it once and dont have to Jerry rig my truck to make it work.  Without having to chop up the body of my truck, it would take about 8" to fit those tires.

mallcrawl:
I don't know that thats a shortcut so much as a difent build style 8" of lift on anything seems like a good way to roll over to me, so I'd go for cutting away the body till the tire size I wanted fit then adding some tube to whats left
