Exclamation NEED HELP quick on some wheels

Does anyone know the width of these wheels? They are off a 98 GC.

Also, do you know the backspacing, or at least how the backspacing compare to XJ stock steel wheels.

Thanks you

since they come off a zj, they're more than likely 15x7 5.00" BS.

And how they'll compare to yours depends on which you have.


Oh. And they're called Canyons.

Thank you. Do you know what the BS is on factory XJ steel wheels?

I found these on CL, the guy has 5 rims, 4 have ok 235/75R15s. I have no interest in the tires, but if the wheels will give me a little wider stance and control are clearance if I put 31x10.50s on my XJ, I may get them if I can get a good deal

These are my factory XJ steelies

Should be that same backspacing and width. You wont see any wider stance whatsoever. I'd look for some wheels with around 4.00" backspacing or less if you're wanting a wider stance. Some black steelies can be had for pretty cheap on craigslist.

Thank you. That info is what I wanted, it will save me some money. They loock to have less BS than mine, but just going by pictures I wasn't sure.

THose are canyons.. They are 15x8 ...Pretty cool wheels, one of the only 8 inch wide factory jeep wheels, so...they are an inch wider than your wheels you have... but wont give you a wider stance..as the back spacing is basically the same.

Lol TJ canyons are 15x8 with 5.5" and ZJ canyons came in 15x7 with 5".. If they came stock on a ZJ they're the 15x7's.

Yep doesnt make much sense. x2 on the jegs, unless you're just in the market for some ravines.. then you could buy Dave's.

Haha..so many jeep wheels...
Turbines, icons, ravines, canyons, moabs, eccos.. damn..there are like 3 more..
I would say though that the icons are the most rare out of those though.
I would keep em but I dont want to run 16" wheels.
