I am looking for the backspacing on the 16x7 wheels that came on the 2000 and newer XJ's. Can anyone help?

Thanks

Rob

4.75 me thinks. Stock is pretty deep.

That is what I am looking for. I am running 32X9.5X15 TSL with a 4.5" Super flex with stock wheels. No Rubbing. I want to go to a 265/75R16 truxus. It will give me the same diameter but an inch wider. Also I will be running Radials then.

All stock XJ wheels are 5.25" backspacing, as far as I know.

Be advised Liberty wheels run 5 3/4" and are frequently confused by know nothing salvage yard operators who sell them as Wrangler rims.

I know because, and they still fit ok for most smaller tires, say 225 x 16.

I have checked into the libby wheels and have actually measured some. The ones I measured were 6.25" back spacing. These were for an 04.

Thanks for the info.
