I need some wheels with less backspacing. I have 33x12.50s on stock 2001 XJ wheels. Does anyone know if stock Ranger 15x7 wheels have less backspacing than stock XJ wheels?

I think my stock '01 steel wheels have 5.25" backspacing. I could really use that inch, my 33s are like 1/4" from my leafs.Trail Xj said:

Did a little searching and asking around on www.therangerstation.com and found that on alot of rangers they came with 15"x7" with 4.5 to 4.75 of backspacing. I got my rims off of a broncoII. They are American Racing rims that are 15"x8" with 4.50 backspacing. As XJ Ranger kindof said, a 33"x12.5" tire is not a good fit onto a 15"x7" rim. Do some searching aroung local junkyards to see what you can come up with. I got mine for fifty bucks in great condition.

My '93 Ranger came with 15 x 8 wheels with 4.5" backspacing.
85xjwoody, what kind are yours? I've been trying to find a steel "wagon wheel" type with 4.5" bs but they all they seem to come in is 3.75"

My rims came off of a BroncoII. I think the year was 89 or 90. They are American Racing rims 15"x8" with 4.50 inches of backspacing. They stuff pretty good with very minimal rubbing. Just got lucky spotting them at the junkyard when I was getting a driveshaft.

the sidewall on a 36 and the sidewall on a 33 are two different things when mounting wheels...

My 33x12.50s are fine on 15x7 wheels.
