Default Question About Wheel Size

So I bought a 2000 Cherokee today and it needs tires & wheels. I don't have any pictures yet, and I will be starting a build thread here soon. All of the current tires & wheels are in bad shape and are mismatched. I have had good experience with TireBuyer, and they have a warehouse within 100 miles of my location so shipping is fast. (They said they'd be here Friday)

Anyways, the wheels I bought were the Mamba 585B M13, 15x8 with the 5x4.5 bolt pattern, -25 Backspacing. I am just hoping someone here has better knowledge of wheels and wheel sizes and can tell me they will fit without any major issues.

Thanks!

He's saying that you bought your wheels then went and started checking if they would fit. Normally, you would do it the other way around. "Putting the cart before the horse".

Need tire size then wheel size for up to a 35x12:50x15 a 15x8 with a 3.75" of BS for the proper fit and clearance, this applies for a 31x10:50 up.

Looks like the right bolt pattern, and diameter and width. But what is the backspacing?
