So I'm gonna buy some Mamba M13 alloys in 15x8 but the Backspacing come in 3.52" or 5.01" which should I get I plan on running a RE 3.5" lift with 31s or 32s any pics of that specific Backspacing would be extremely helpful thanks

Here's the rims

Uuh... Those are really weird backspacing numbers... Are you sure that's not the offset or something else? I'm running 4" of backspacing with 33X10.50's and its just about perfect. I haven't seen really anything wider then 3.75" in most 15x8 wheels but maybe it is 3.5"... If you like that style wheel then take a look at a set of moabs...

McGuinness

Yeah it says those number are the Backspacing its on quadratec'2s website

The 3.52.... The 5" backspace would almost cause stock 225 tires to rub.

Kingfisher

If those are the only choice, you would have to choose the 3.52s
I would think the 5's would rub terribly.

McGuinness

They're not the only ones that I want but I like the design and you can't beat $122 a rim

McGuinness

You think the black moabs from mamba would look good on my green 99 though? It just feels like a lot of people have moabs and I want something different

Poloboy406

Just my personal taste, but I've never been much a fan of moabs...I will say that if you are running 12.50 wide tires...I think anything wider than 4" backspacing is a little too wide...but then again, that's my taste

I have black rims on my green XJ, they look good in my opinion. I think mine are 3.75, not sure as I bought them from a guy that was gonna use them but changed his mind. I think the rims you picked would look good.

McGuiness-The MOAB look sweet-I almost did them but from what I saw, going from 15" to 16" tires were a bigger jump in pricing than I wanted in my opinion.

McGuinness

Yeah that's my problem at the moment I looked at 16s but I want to get some new rims but keep my 235s for now cause they're brand new, put on a few days before I got it and they just gotta last me till I get my lift

Thanks, got the rims for free, guy on local forum was selling tires (33" MT/R) and rims for 1000.00 Dollars, tires weren't even mounted on rims. For that price I couldn't pass it up.

Do yourself a real favor and choose a wheel with the proper BS either a 3 3/4'or a 4" (THOSE 2 ONLY), then make sure the bolt pattern is correct also. Try to avoid wheel spacers for several different reasons that aren't that great.

I personally like Black wheels on the XJ's they just good no matter the color of the Jeep. Price was not a real factor when I bought wheels for mine but Steel was one of choice a Cragar Soft Eight all 5. If 1 is bent not that much to replace, scratched on rocks spray can it, dents they bend not a big chip out of the rim. They are 15x8" with 3 3/4" BS running a 33x12:50x15's.

McGuinness

Yeah I think I'm gonna go with these mambas. 4.5" BS and they look pretty good not to mention I like the center cap
