Default Backspacing

My 01 cherokee is stock im looking to lift it. i like the rough country 4.5 inch lift. it says wheel backspacing should be at 4.5. im looking at some cragar rims they say the wheel backspacing is at 4. is the half inch difference going to affect it? or do i need to look ofr different rims?

You will be fine. Stock rims have 5.5 inch back spacing so 4 is fine. The lower the number the further out the tire will be.
