I like those but that fake beadlock tends to pack mud into the rim and gets to the point that it is very unbalanced.

Those were the first rims I had on the XJ. Look great, but the mud and snow pack in behind that lock and really do cause the to become unbalanced. It also rust horribly bad around the bolts in the street locks

no
it is the set distance you can order rims with the right backspacing no need for spacers
unless you get a good deal on some used ones and need to adjust

Backspacing is a measurement of the rim.
If you were to place a rim face-down, and measure from the surface that the lugs are located to the bead on the outer edge of the rim===> this is backspacing.
Backspacing locates how far IN/OUT your wheel/tire sits in relation to the mounting surface (rotor/drum)
Higher B/S number== wheel/tire sits further IN
Lower B/S number== wheel/tire sits further OUT

Please use your money on something else, preferably soft-8's or other steelies WITHOUT the fake beadlocks bolts. I know of two people who ran those same wheels and they ended up rusting really bad. The bolts they use on them LOVE rust. You'll be wastin your money.

Bead looks rust like there is no tomorrow. I almost got a set for mine but all my friends said they would make fun of me if I ever blew a bead. I got a set of Soft 8's for half the cost of the bead looks. I am now going to be turning my Soft 8s into real beadlocks(not driven on highways much anymore).
