What wheels are you running and what is the backspacing. If they are stock then yes but it is almost as cheap to just buy new wheels and in some cases cheaper because a good set of spacers will run $200+.

these rims were on the jeep when I bought it. I have no idea what model or brand they are... 
how would I go about checking the back spacing?

Look like American Racing don't remember the number. They should have somewhere between 4.5 and 3.75" which will be fine. You measure from the back of the bolt circle to the lip on the back of the wheel. Not the outer edge but where the tire sits. If they are 10" wide they will sit even farter out and you have even less of a chance of rubbing.
