What is the backspacing on a stock Cherokee wheel? I think it's like 5 or something. Can I get that backspacing on a 15x8 rockcrawler wheel, and what website? Thanks, have a good one.

stock is 5.25" on a 15x7 wheel.

I think 15x8 rockcrawlers come between 3.75 and 4.75 on different sites but don't quote me.

There are a zillion wheels & sites out there though. I'd look for wheels you like then check the backspacing.

www.4wheelparts.com has them, the stock wheel backspacing is 5.25" on 15x7" but I don't think many aftermarket wheels come in that Backspacing, there have been several discussions and 4.5" seems to have been decided as all around best for clearence and looks

I have the rockcrawlers in 15x8 w/4.5" BS, they do stick out a little, if you were concerned about it you may wanna go with a 15x7 w/4.5" BS
