Wheels from other trucks that will fit on an XJ
I'm looking for some wheels that I can pull for cheap from a JY that have about 4 inches of backspacing, or at least more than the stock XJ wheels.....I would rather spend my money on tires than have to drop 200 on cragars before I get the tires. I think I've seen Bronco II wheels?

There are a lot of vehicles that have the same bolt pattern, as mentioned above. However, test fit the wheel first, as some Ford wheels have a smaller diameter hub than yours and require grinding/milling to fit.

I'm really hoping for more backspacing, I don't understand all these people on here running 31s on stock wheels, when I had a crappy set on for a little while they rubbed like crazy on my LCAs

I saw someone with Crown Victoria steelies a while back, it looked great but they had to open up the middle of the wheel with a file to account for our hub size.

My 95 blazer just had the starter go out and its had a blown head gasket for a while now so I'll be moving my 30x9.5x15 on the blazer rims on to the XJ this weekend hopefully. I'll let everyone know if it works ok

bighouts5591, are you aware of the steering stops on the Dana 30 front axle?
These are nuts & bolts that limit the amount of turning radius.
The nuts are welded to the bolts. The nuts may also be welded to the knuckles. You grind & chisel the weld to the knuckles, but leave the bolts welded to the nuts.
Then you loosen it by the nut with a good six point wrench, and stack a few flat washers under the nuts.
The amount of steering radius you lose isn't that much.
