Frist off I did do a search, but I didnt find my specific question. I have the RE6130 waiting to go on my 93, what I want to know is can I reuse my stock rims(what is the stock BSing) and be able to run BFG AT's without any rubbing and full stuff on the fenders and controll arms? If I have to Ill get new rims down the road a bit.....but Id really like to save that 200 for my sye/ds if possible for now. Thanks tim

backspacing is what affects how far the wheels will stick in / out from the hub.
measured by:
rim only, put a straight edge accross the lip of the rim from one isde to another
use tape measure and measure how far from the center of the edge to the bolt holes.

I run 31x10.50 on stock steelies... The stock BS is 5.25 or 5.5 inches I normally only rub at full lock ( L to R)... and then just enough to know that I am rubbing.
I run the RE Super Flex 3.5 lift I forget if that is the 6130 or not.
Here are some flex' and posin pictures for comparison.
I still had about 1.5 -2 inches before it would touch my compressed tires reached the bump stops.

Thanks for the info and pics man. Just so ya know the 6130 is the 4.5 inch and the full spring pack. Im glad to read that it seems like I can save myself the money for a little bit. I ahve the same rims as you too. Although I painted mine flat black and they look really good on the green cherokees. Mine happens to be a 2 door tho. So it seems there is almost no reason to get rid of em really as long as they can stuff. thanks tim

I am sure there are many with more opinions. This particular question gets asked every few days on Jeeps Unlimited, Jeep Forum,and here at 
and I am sure others.
Do a search here and at the other 2 websites, you will be reading for days on peoples "opinions" vs. Facts of lifts and tires.
Look at the FAQ on these sites as well, you will get you answers you need.
Good Luck
