Default Tj rims

New at this so bare with me. Found a set of tj rims. All 5 aluminum rims for $100. They are 15x8". How much backspace do i need to get a 31x10.5 on my xj with 3" lift? Does a tj rim even have enough? Want to get more info before i think about buying them.

Theyl fit but you'll rub on your lcas for sure. I picked up a set of ravines will 31x10.5 bfg allterrains and I rubbed at full lock. I added wheel spacers to clear. But ill soon be geting some d windows from summit for my 33 x12 5s.

Honestly I'd say get rims with the proper backspacing to begin with. Youll be happyer in the long run and not be. 4 d window from summit are 187 with free shipping...pretty hard to beat

TJ wheels have the same BS. WIll fit 10.50 wide tires fine. Will rub at full lock on stock LCA's. Either adjust steer stops or just drive accordingly.

Are they *STOCK* TJ rims, or are they just OFF a TJ?

IF the 15x8 is throwing you off.. TJ Canyon wheels are 15x8. But very well could be aftermarket wheels he is speaking of.

Nothing is throwing me off. I just asked a simple question that should have been asked/answered long ago, which is:

What rims are we discussing.

Hard to come to an accurate conclusion with critical pieces of information missing.
