I have a 94 XJ so it I can't guarantee it's the same but if it is hanging under the passenger side of the dash, I think it connects to the blower resistors.

Same. I'm not sure if Canyons use the same backspacing or not. Regardless, they're 8" wide instead of the standard 7". If they are the same backspacing you get 1/2" or so less tire inside.
Cool thanks. All the ZJ stuff is 8" wide or just the canyons? That would also put about 1/2" closer to the inside too yeah? Though I guess it wouldn't puff out as much but just barely. I'm mainly worried about rubbing my control arms and redoing my steering more so than looking bad a totally sw33t d00d at the mall. I need something better than my half baldies for going into the snowy mountains this ski season, and dragging this ******* dirt bike I just bought around. Ha ha.
Going to be getting a new track bar & tie rod for this soon too to help handle any extra tire size.

Thanks guys. Picture he sent looks like the slanted ZJ ones.

Alloy wheels tend to be a hair lighter than steel ya? Figure that might help everything drive a little smoother in the end.

I've seen some trickling info that those might have been 5.5 backspacing? I saw this chart: http://www.jeep4x4center.com/knowled...ifications.htm
That shows it as "M/H" offset and the CHerokee stockers as "M". Putting my wheels in farther sounds crappy! ha ha.
