Hi , I currently have these rims on my jeep the six spoke rims on my 99 XJ, currently on 235 /75 R15 I believe , now I want to put the 5 spoke rims on them like in the picture. Will I be fine just to swap the rims in to the tire? do I need to worry about backspace ?

If they are 5 x 4.5 bolt pattern then yes. (Any jeep YJ, TJ, ZJ, XJ, MJ) Backspacing might be a little different cause i think the rim on the right is a 15x6

+1 to this

6- spoke to 5-spoke will be fine. I had no idea that you could even get the 6s on a 1999.

Also the KJ Liberties use 5x4.5. And tasty disc brakes on their C8.25s and nice fuel injectors...

Nope you'll be fine. Eon't need to think about backspacing until you get to tires like 31x10.5R15
