backspacing question
 

hey guys
i got a set of rims for free and i was wondering if i could use them they are 15x8x4.5 with a backspacing of 3.75 will those fit and what does the backspacing do for the ride and the looks.

they will fit they will make the tire sit out further approx. 1" -1.25" depending on the bs of the stock wheels. just check local laws to make sure the tires dont stick out too far

soo is their a specific backspacing i need on my 99 xj or it doesnt matter

It all depends on the tire size and how wide a stance you want.

they will stick out a little. i think it looks great:thumbup1:

4in back spacing with 12.5 wide tire. just to give you an idea. 12.5 in tire on a 15x8 rim looks a little wider than if you where running a 10.5 on a 3.75 back spacing

sorry couldnt find a straight on shot

I have 15X8 with 3.75 backspace if the photo helps any.

i run 3.75in backspace on 15x8.5 wheels with 31x10.50 tires. imo best look ever.

cool thxs guys and the pics helped

hey how can i messure the backspacing and make sure all the rims are the same bc now that i look at it two of the rims look different

lay the rim face down and put a straight edge across the rim. then measure from the straight edge to the wheel mounting surface.
