Rubi wheels on xj
I found some 06 rubi wheels with 35s. Just wondering if they will fit and if I need spacers or not. Im running 6.5 inches of lift and trimmed quite a bit front and rear. Pics if your running this set up plz

Mine came with Rubi wheels from the PO, rocking LT245's with a 4.5" lift-
As for back-spacing and all that, I have no idea... but this is how they look on an XJ.

Heres mine...295/75/16s...about 33.4"x11.50r16, I was on 4.5" of lift with no trimming. They rubbed the front corner pieces on the bumper, but tucked nicely, and the rubbed the control arms with 31s and the 33s. Bs I think is like 5", but not sure. I no longer have these wheels because the wrong lug nuts wallowed the lug holes out and I lost a wheel going to big bear, long winding mountain road...USE THE STOCK JEEP LUG NUTS WITH THESE WHEELS! IMO...eff Aluminum and alloy...I'll take steel wheels all day!

most people with 8" wide rims use a 3.75" or 4" backspacing. those rims are 16x8 with 5" of backspacing... youre gonna want 1-1.5" spacers otherwise your tires will be rubbing everywhere in the wheel well.

Thanks for the info/pics guys. I kind of figured I'd need some spacers. Now I just need to figure out why my steering is clunking/binding when I turn.. Ahh always something

I have some steal 1.25" spacers for sale if you have'nt bought some already. $100.00. I am keeping the nuts that came with them but you should be able to find some at an auto parts store. I work at Hires, so I could most likely find some for you if you can't.
