Let's see a pic of the rims.

 

"ok, so to finish this up, to have the rims come out about 1 inch i need a 4.25'' backspace on a 7'' width rim which equals +6mm positive offset."

Exactly what I'm running using Black Rock Dune rims. Don't know if these pics help or not. 4" b/s would be fine also.

 

I meant a pic of the rims he's considering buying. LOL.

 

Yea I know.

He's wanting his tires even with the flares. With the rims he says he needs hopefully my pics will show him the rims he wants will work.

 

I wonder if he's looking at the 8" Canyon wheels?

I have them on my XJ and one of my MJs. https://www.google.com/search?q=jeep...bXaa3DNUwb9FM:

 

Looks like they'd work. I went with 7" because FOR ME I felt 8" was to wide for 235's. But he's looking at 30/9.50x15's.

 

One Jeep has 235s and the other 31s on the 8" wheels.

 

Did those wheels/rims come on '99 Sahara's? That's what he was considering.

 

Not sure. That's why I brought it up.

 

If not at least now he can see 8" Canyons will work and he can look some.

 

And I can provide photos!!!

 

that is nice and exactly what im looking for rims even with the standard fender flare..

these are the rims that are for sale

marc



this is the spare all other 4 have no tires

 

those are called gamblers. 5.5 inch backspace...i just picked up a set myself

 

oh really, hmm ad says Sahara's i guess the seller doesnt know what hes selling then.

thanks for that

 

Canyon
* 15x8 aluminum
* 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern
* Backspacing = 5.5"
* Optional wheel with 30" tire package
* Offset = +25 mm

the canyon rims look nice some with the black on them, so with 8'' width and 30x9.50r15 there is no rubbing and it will look like its almost even with the standard fender flare eventho there is a 5.5'' backspace ?
