Need Wheel Offset Specs for ZJ, Wrangler, Rubicon

I just added a '97 ZJ tsi to my collection of Jeeps. (That's a GrandCherokee 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 and285/55R18 street tires. These must go!! I'm going to run 31x10.50tires (or the metric equivalent, depending on the wheels I wind upwith).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) "takeoffs" from a Rubicon (16x8).My question is backspacing. I get conflicting information aboutbackspacing on stock ZJ "canyon" wheels, and haven't found any reliableinformation on the backspacing for the TJ and Rubicon rims. I've heardboth 5 1/2" and 6" for the Canyons, and 4 1/2", 5" and 5 1/2" for theTJ and Rubicon rims.Does anyone have the answers, or a link to a webpage that will help?Thanks,Robert BillsOrange County CA'83 CJ7, modified'97 ZJ tsi, modified'46 Bantam BT3C trailer
