Default Moab vs Grizzly wheel backspacing

Anyone know what the difference in backspacing on these is?
I have the opportunity to get a set of 5 moabs with 235/75/16 tires on them for only $300. I'm going to be putting in 8.8 rear soon and could use a little more backspacing, so this could be a perfect fit.

What do ya think?

Are they the 16" or 17" Moabs... Presumably off a Wrangler Rubicon right? They went from 16" to 17" after 2006 model year. I think you want the 16" ones to work... Maybe someone can add more light.

moab wheel is from 03-06 tj rubicon. they have 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern and i believe they are 16x8 with 5 inch backspacing.


the wheels from the 07+ rubicon were 16x8 or 17 inch. 5 on 5 bolt pattern and not sure about the backspacing.
