yeah same here but they don't offer the right backspacing for what i need right no on stock wheels i have about a 1/4 inch of clearance when fully stuffed in the rear with no lift bumpstoping in the rear would only give me about 2" up travel would that be a waist?

These were my stock wheels off the 96 country edition, they actually look really nice if you paint the center black and polish the lip, seen a few black cherokees with theirs like that, looks really BA!



And these are the wheels from Rough Country that i found on ebay for $230 shipped! 15x10 with 3&3/4 inch back spacing. The chrome center caps got all rusty and nasty looking so i painted them semi gloss black to match the wheels and i think they look good now, dont have any recent pictures of those though.

Exactly, on black jeeps, those look good, the polished lip on the rim sets it off a little bit from being all black and over kill!

lol and no the problem with the ramp was it didnt want to stay put and slid forward when i went up it, the driver side is all the way on, instead of backing down the whole 6" and trying again i got lazy and said screw it!

I know it is all personal preference, but I like your set up from what I can see. In fact, I recently painted my wheels black and LOVE how it turned out. If I had a black XJ, I'd definitely keep the wheels black too. In your position, I'd keep my current set up and save the $200+ for a down payment on a lift.
