Hey everyone, I ordered my 3.5 Rubicon Lift. I have a 97 XJ. Now I am on the tire hunt, along with MAYBE some wheels. ($) I have the alloy Jeep 5-stars, I am told they are 5.25 Backspace and that really so they don't rub the outer fender I will need 1.25 spacer, well, I assume that I will do all 4 wheels with the spacers, and that will be around $180! (anybody run just front spacers? how's it look?) Seems like once I spend that much cash I can get some new wheels, but all the ones that I LOVE are the Mickey Classic II style, like the Eagle alloy 589's etc. (polished, big holes going around)
I got to thinking, what about OTHER stock 4.5 bolt pattern rims, what backspacing do they have? I have seen TJ's with aluminum with the big 4 holer, ZJ's with different stuff etc, etc. What about other 4x4 (not jeep)
Does anyone know what these other wheels have for backspacing?
Does anyone know of a rim that looks anything like the 589's that can get a backspacing of around 4 to 4.5?
Thanks Guys, you rock
