So the 06 Rubicon has 16" wheels and a Dana 44...
Do they have disc all the way around?
My Sahara has the 44 and discs too. 15" rims will fit fine.
I'm actually running 17" right now though.
Rubi's are stanard with D44 and rear disc .
15's will clear just fine .
I run the Moabs b/c thats what came on mine . ;D
It not really less rubber for the 16's that make them pricey .
It's that most tires for a 16 rim are a higher load rating .
They went to 16's because of the taller (31"s) skinnier tire available for the 16inch rim. For clearance issues obviously.

You can get tall skinny tires for a 15 rim aswell .
I'm sure the real reason for the 16's was a marketing ploy

true. I think I read that in JP sometime.
16" Was so they can get a mud terrain to balance out perfectly for highway standards im sure
Actually, they went with a 16" rim so they could get the biggest tire posible under the factory flares with no rubbing. A 31x10.5 r15 is too big and wide, but a 30.8x9.6 r16 (245/75 r16) slid right on.

You Quadratec guys are like the Michael Moores of the Jeeping world.
"...sued by Toyota for copyright infringement, they then switched to a modular top design allowing them..."
"...due to European Union standards for diesel engines..."
"...farmed the powdercoating out to a third party vendor which was located next to a concrete factory, thus inadvertantly creating that now famous Rubicon texture in the finish..."
"...as a result of that NTSB study of rollover crashes involving Jeeps..."
"...KY Jelly and it'll slide right on. Petroleum based lubricants will only destroy the O-ring..."
I'm not a quad guy anymore. haven't been since June
