Back spacing help
Hey Guy and Gals!
I'm running into an issue with finding aftermarket rims for my 98 jeep Cherokee. I know the stock rims are 15x7" with a backspace of 5.25" and a bolt pattern of 5x4.5", and I can find every spec but the 5.25" backspacing the only one I have found that is even close in the Cragar rims is 4.5".
My question is will this backspacing work on a stock jeep Cherokee without rubbing? Or wheel spacers?

yes, stock is 5.25, and yes an 8 inch rim 4.5 will tuck up with a stock size tire and it won't rub.
you can also use a stock canyon rim or rubicon moab rim, they are 8 inch wide with 5.5 on the canyon and 5 on the moab. the moab tho is 16 inch.
