Aluminum Wheels backspacing/dimensions
Do any of yall know the dimensions of this stock aluminum wheel?
Trying to figure out if i need to get new wheels if I want to run 30's on an Upcountry suspension.

not to mention if itd look strange with the tires if they werent out far enough, which is what it looks like with the stupid 215/75's that are on there now.

i've heard varying accounts of the stock BS. how exactly could i measure it? I guess that would have been an easier question to ask since all wheels are different.

well these are definitely aluminum, and oem. build sheet says so. anyway, i guess i'll answer my own question about the backspacing measurement. did a better search and found my answer.

Those are alloy 15x7 OEMs. The Up-country pkg. Is a Factory 2" lift (with additional skid plates) And those rims can be buffed up to a really good shine. (Then shoot them with clear coat, to slow down the pitting) They look pretty good then, with the alloy center caps, buffed to match.

FYI, You do have OEM alloys. With a mild 30x9.50 at you should not rub on your LCA's.
I had 30x 9.50 MTR's on a 2000 XJ with 1" of true lift and had light rubbing at full steering lock when articulating. It was never enough rubbing to hurt the tire but a reminder.
