Default Right offset for 15x10 wheels 33" tyres

Hello,
i'm a new user from Italy, i'm going to buy a set of 15x10 wheels with -44 offset, but i can't try the fitment on the car because the seller will ship them to me.

So i need to know if -44 it's a right offset to get on 33" tyres and eventually 35".

If it's right they don't have to go too much off the car, anyone has pictures of wheels like this on cherokee? i'll get on bushwakers flares but i'm worried about dimensions..

Regards from Italy

what width are your tires?

I have 33x12.50-15 tires on a 15x8 with a 4" backspacing and a -12mm offset, so -44 seems rather large

that is pretty wide for a 33x12.50-15

look at this picture


I cant say for certain but -44 is quite a lot of offset
they will stick out about 2" more than normal (-12mm)

if your backspacing is too small the wheels will come out from the Jeep and you could have problems with the tires hitting your fenders.

BUT

I just looked on quadratec.com and they are listing a 15x10" with 3.75" backspacing and -44mm offset as a correct fitment for all years of XJ
