13.50 tires
what rim width size would be need for a 13.50 tire? how about back space for an xj?? im keeping 15" tall rims.
any good reference for determining required backspace for wheels? or chart or something?

my last set of tires were 12.50s had alot of clearance with 3.75 backspacing, so im sure 13.50 tires would clear, at leat on leaf springs, prolly still rub a little on lower control arms though....hopefully some one will chime in and confirm...what kind of tires you lookin at..

This is just for future reference actually. I want to run either krawlers or irocks on a 15 in rim. And it something i've always wondered about.

if you have 10" tires on 8" rims the tire over hangs 1" each side
compared to 13" tires on 8" rims the tire over hangs 2.5 each side that is 1.5" closer to you control arms on the same back spacing
now if you go to a 10" rim with 13" tire you end up with 1.5" tire overhang
and that is only 0.5 closer than the 8 10 combo
so for any one that is wondering how well wider tires will work on you existing rims half the extra width is going in and the other half is going out
