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

 

i wanna see a picture

 

iirc they are 4.5 x 5 (the change to 5 x 5 happened in 2007)

short answer, you are good to go

 

Thanks man.. hows the backspacing? do u know?

 

sorry my brain only remembers so much...

 

3 1/2" on 31's. These are 06 wheels and backspace is perfect.

 

oh yeah that looks good

 

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!

 

Ok what's up with everyone that has Rubicon wheels also having a Maroon 97+ XJ?

 

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.

 

Sienna pearl FTW!! Prettiest jeep color ever produced...but seriously, that is kinda weird lol. I think the alloy color goes really nicely with darker colors.

 

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.

 

Ahh I got some now. Thanks though
