i have a stock XJ and i dont want to keep my stock wheels anymore, i have 235/75/15 bfg mt's on it already so i dont want to change tire size, but can i still buy some mickey thompson classic locks that are 15X8 5-4.5 3-5/16" BACK SPACING, im not a super aggressive wheeler but i do take it on trails where i need full articulation so i still need to be able to stuff my wheels inside the fenders like my stock wheels do.
(like this)
will i need to trim and relocate my flares or will i be ok with 3 5/16 backspacing? and im not even 100% sure if i can mount my 235's on 8 inch wheels... i hope so but i dont want that euro import wheel look where its all angled like this / \
i dont really want soft 8's or D wheels or anything with 4.75-5.25 back spacing, and i dont want to waste money buying wheels that will work now but not later
i searched around for what i could and didnt find anything, if you can find a thread, feel free to post it in here, keep in mind i want to know how much back spacing i can have before i start to rub my fender flares.
