I have a 95 cherokee sport and I want cragar soft 8 wheels. I know the stock size wheel is 15 x 7 and I can get a 15 x 7 cragar but the only difference is the backspacing. I have heard that stock is 5 or maybe 5.25 inches and the cragar is 4 inches. My question is, in buying these wheels, will I have to buy new lugs or lug nuts? Because I want to buy these wheels and just have my tires transfered onto them. If I cannot do this, how much more would it cost me to be able to use these wheels, or do you know a similar wheel with the stock backspaceing. Thank you in advance!

Yeah im not worried about buying new lug nuts, but the actual lugs would be a problem because it looks like replaceing lugs is an in depth process haha. I just want to make sure that the 4" backspacing is ok with stock lugs if the stock backspacing is 5". Anyone else have any thoughts?
