What's the backspacing and offset any idea?

no rdplz

Same as all the other factory Jeep 15x7 alloy rims: 5.25 backspacing.

Ok... Thank you..

no rdplz

No problem. All factory 15x7 Jeep rims have 5.25" backspacing. If you're wanting to make the tires stick out from the body more, you need to lower the backspacing (4.5", 3.75", etc).

I don't really care how much they stick out I just wanna get my 33s and can't with the two mismatched wheels I got. Was told finding some cheap stocks would be the way to go. Idk I'm young and fairly new. Learning little by little as I go

Totally understand. Most guys run a 15x8 for 33's, just for the backspacing, but 15x7's will work. With 33's though you will get some rubbing on the LCA's. A good way to fix this is to get a set of LCA's from a Grand Cherokee. A little grinding is needed, but you won't rub on them when you turn your wheel to full-lock. The good thing about running a 33 on a 7" rim is that you have a much lower chance of losing your tire bead when you air down.

You think I will rub even with a 4.5" lift? I wanna do it right. Rather take my time and do it once then rush and have to do it over. I have had my 33s in my hatch for 3 weeks now and it looks ridiculous with the lift and 265/75/15 lol

You'll still rub. The LCA's don't change where they are in relation to the wheel/tire, no matter how much lift you have. The only way to change that is to either change the LCA's to a curved style (Grand Cherokee), or to move the wheel away from the LCA by using spacers (not recommended) or rims with better back spacing. The other thing you'll need to look at is your fenders. With 33's you'll most likely rub on the fenders too.

There's so much involved lol. I was gonna get bushwackers cut outs an a bumper next yrs income tax. But keep running into more and more I need just for this year

What do u think If I could find someone to trade for 31s?

no rdplz

You'll just barely rub with 31's on the LCA's at full lock. As long as you don't go full lock (not really a great thing to do to your power steering pump anyway) you won't rub at all. What kind of shape are the 33's in? I'm currently running 31 A/T's (about 10k on them) and want 33's.

I have 4 Armstrong Norseman, 3 Mickey Thompson Baja claws, and two Dunlops. All are 33 12.5 15. Norsemans are all 30-40% tread. Bajas 2 are 50 one is 30, Dunlops are easily 50-75%

deadlift560

I was gonna run two bajas up front and Dunlops in rear

no rdplz

gotcha. Hoping for a little more tread on the matching set. Well, I can still do the rims for $100 though. Check with the wife and let me know.

If you'd be interested Id give ya the wheels for two decent 33's
