I just added a '97 ZJ tsi to my collection of Jeeps. (That's a Grand Cherokee to you, Bill.) ;) It's fairly well set up with 3 1/2" lift, skidplates, ARB front bumper with winch, Confer rack, etc.
Unfortunately, the previous owner installed 18" fancy chrome wheels and
285/55R18 street tires. These must go!! I'm going to run 31x10.50 tires (or the metric equivalent, depending on the wheels I wind up with).I am looking for either: (1) stock Canyon wheels from a ZJ (15x7); (2) "take off" wheels from a late model TJ Unlimited (15x8); or (3) "take offs" from a Rubicon (16x8).
My question is backspacing. I get conflicting information about backspacing on stock ZJ "canyon" wheels, and haven't found any reliable information on the backspacing for the TJ and Rubicon rims. I've heard both 5 1/2" and 6" for the Canyons, and 4 1/2", 5" and 5 1/2" for the TJ and Rubicon rims.
Does anyone have the answers, or a link to a webpage that will help?
Thanks,
