Im wanting to order some cragar soft 8's for my jeep. But im unsure what "backspacing" to go with.. I found them on summit, one with 4" backspace, or another with 4.75" backspace..

Its a 93 with 3" lift and 31's. I want the tires to stick out a bit more, but nothing ridiculous.

Suggestions?

 

4" will stick out a little past the flares. 4.75 will be tucked in. The lower the number the more they will stick out.
My rims have 3.75" backspacing.

 

this is my 97xj 3 in lift 31x10.5x15 with soft8s 4in bs and a 1in wheel spacer,not the best pics but hope it helps.

 

Soft 8s with a 4" back space. Running 3" lift on 31s

 

Found it funny we all have the same wipers too hahaha

 

Heres a pic of mine with 15x8 soft 8s with 4in bs.

 

4" sticks out, which probably requires trimming. Then you have opened a new can of worms. Go with a cool stock rim, even from a "grand cherokee" Wheels sticking out is great, if thats what you like. I want a small, narrow footprint. Think about the extra axle stress, etc.... JMHO

 

Wow good eyes. I would have never caught that. Haha.

 

Hahaha yeah meaningless things are my specialty lol

 

It's a trade off. Going narrow on a lifted Cherokee aversely effects stability, typically you want to go wider when you lift it to keep as much stablity as possible.

 

Exactly!!

 

can i recomend black rock rims ...there cheaper an they come with center cap .... http://www.quadratec.com/manufacture...eels/index.htm

 

The 15x8 black rock are $54.99 each .Plus Quadratec's shipping is high.My soft 8s were $42.95 each and caps were$3.99 each and Summit racing's shipping is alot less.So,Summit would be cheaper.

 

Did the exact same thing when I bought mine in December.

 

31s with 3.75 BS.
