Default Rim back spacing question.

I have a 99 grand Cherokee and I want to put on a set of 16" 2010 rims. Don't know what kind of jeep they came off of which might be a problem but if there both 5x5 would there be a backspacing issue?

if they're off a rubicon, they should have around 4.5 inch back space on an 8 inch rim. if it's just a regular wrangler, they should be 7 inch wide rim with about 5.5 inch backspacing. probably the same as your stock rim.

they will fit, depending on the tire size, they may rub. if you use the same size tire on that rim that you have on your grand now, you should be fine.
