Ok so looking on jirehs website it looks like i can only get a 2.15 wide wheel in black and chrome with 3/4 taper bearings. I could use the 1" with bearing adaptors? any reason not to do this?

You will end up messing with spacers or making your own to get the fit correct, done a few that way, isn't a plug & play bolt up.

The wrapper fender should answer that for you. Their sizing chart would be the poobah there. Rethink this, please. Haha

The wide rim will fit a fat tire and look right at home under the stock fender. Don't lock into Jireh, look at Ride Wright and Mammoth too.

My experience was different than TwiztedBiker's. I had zero probs fitting the aftermarket wheel. I did have to shim the calipers however.
