I am riding stock now but I still need new wheels. What size of wheels do most people have with the aforementioned specifications?

I would like to use the wheels from the lifted specifications on my stock 29's. (if possible)

Also, how would backspacing be a factor? Because I know I will need some backspacing with that lift and tires.

15 x 8 with 3.75-4" of backspacing to eliminate the chance of rubbing.

X2 15x8 crager soft 8's really look good on a cherokee.

Would these be compatible with my stock 29"x(whatever stock width is lol)?

Yes the stock is 7" but you can run the stock tires on an 8" rim but they will look a little funny but be safe unless you drive very weird.

i have the cragar D windows. i like them better than the soft 8's bc there so incredibly popular. but yeah either 15X7 or 8 and you'll be fine.

I would do that, but 4" backspacing. In my experience, 3.75" rubs like a **** on the newer model xj's. I rubbed on both corners of the front fender with 2", 3", 4" and finally solved it at 5". I have 31x10.5's on 15x8 with 3.75" bs.

The idea is to get a wheel that is 2" less than the width of the tire. 10.5" wide tire fits on a 8" wheel very well. If you want a fatter sidewall for more wheel protection, use a 7" wheel. Of course you can shove a 15" wide tire on a 8" wide wheel if you wanted to. It's mainly user preferences.

your stock wheels will fit the bill, and tuck into the fenders as opposed to hitting the fenders with a lower backspaced/wider wheel.

you will rub the control arms a bit, but most jeeps do anyway, it's nothing to be afraid of

On the topic of tires, I just found a guy who has (4) 31"x10.5" Baja Claws with 300 miles on them. He's asking $400.

Should I jump on this?

make sure the new rims are the same diameter as your curent ones
