Another wheel question
Found a set of factory 15x7, 5 x4.5 wheels off 96 or 97 Wrangler on craigslist & wondering if the backspace will work on my Cherokee?
They are the 5 spoke kind with Jeep in the wheel.
Any help greatly appreciated!

The backspacing is waaaay to the inside on all factory aluminum rims. If you are wanting to run a tire any bigger than a 31x10.50 with these rims, then you will need a wheel spacer.
I have 1.5" wheel spacers with my OEM 10 hole aluminum rims and 32x11.50s. These spacers work perfect because there is no rubbing except, of course, at full stuff but still very little. And the tires only stick out past the stock fender flares, a smidge. So Johnny Law leaves me alone.
