Wheels
okay so When I go online to order wheels, different sizes appear. And I'm not sure what each number means, don't want to **** up and order the wrong size so could someone clear up what each number represents? I'm wanting to get some 15' Cragar soft 8 wrapped with KM2's but I'm not sure about the rear spacing, offset or bolt circle. And idk what (8") Is when it says 15"x8". Any help is appreciated, thanks!!

15 x 8" means that the rim is 15" in diameter and 8" wide at the inside of the flanges.
Backspacing is measured from the inboard flange to the wheel mounting surface (WMS) The smaller the number, the further the wheel and tire will stick out under the fender. Bolt circle is usually stated as 5 x 4.5. 5 studs (lug nuts) that are 4.5" apart. |

So would 4-1/4 rear spacing be too much or should I just go with 4?..strait up, if I get some 31X10.50R15 km2 and a 3.5 RE lift, what size rim should I get?

I think you'd be better off with the 4 to get your front tires away from the lower control arms. That will get you 1.25" out. You can also go with an 8" wheel, that will widen out the tire a bit but it will also get you 2.25" out from stock.

Okay nevermind cause; size 15x8, bolt size 5x4-1/2 and rear space 4 wheel only comes with -13 offset. So I guess iv made a choice.
This...http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/store...p:OrderItemAdd Wraped in this...http://www.4wheelparts.com/Tires/31x...&t_pn=BFG00606 Good choice?? |
Offset and backspacing are the same thing just using a different reference point.
Back Spacking is measured from the back lip of the rim to the mounting surface Offset is measure from the mounting surface to the center of the rim. 4" backspace or 13mm offset are two ways to repesent the same 8" rim. |

And does anyone recommend a different place where I can get the soft8 & km2 cheaper or a better site?? |

Sweet. From jets I'm getting soft 8 with a 4" backspace for $211...how did you get free shipping?

I dunno, when I checked out it didn't charge me shipping just $14 handling. Maybe because I bought their wheels? Throw a set of theirs in the shopping cart and calculate shipping, see what you get.

FedEx dropped the wheels off today. This is what the 3.75 backspace looks like on the XJ.
