I have a 94 XJ with a 3.5 RE super ride kit. I'm useing the stock wheels with 31x10.5x15 tires. Does any one know the stock back space on these wheels and do I need to go up or down in number to give me more space between the lower control arms and tires. They rub a little when turned hard left or right. Thanks

my stock alloys had 5" backspacing.

Thanks. Which way do I go with the back spacing to give me more room but not stick out too far? Any suggestions on how much back space?

4.5 would be fine. I like the 4 though (im running 33 12.50s)

there are many posts on backspacing here, the lower the number, the further the tire will stick out.

stock wheels are anywhere between 5 and 5.5 inch back spacing. you want about 3.75 to 4 inches.

Thank you all..

3.75 is a little much for 31 10.5s in my opinion. i run that on my 33 12.50s and they stick out like crazy. unless he plans on going to 33s in the future i would advise more around 4.00. just my 2 cents.

alittle much.. its a diff of a 1/4 inch.. not gunna be a deal breaker in any way.. with a 1/4 " its goin to come down to the tire width more so then then rim backspacing in my opinion
