The factory backspacing on the steel wheels is listed at 6.25". I went with Cragers that are 16x8 with 5" backspacing and am very happy with them.
Here is a thread that will give you all the info you could ever hope for on the different factory wheels that come on the JK. Hope this helps.

Yeah thanks for that link that was very informative.

I will probably just go with 16s x 8 with the 4'' backspacing.........

I will take my jk by the local tire shop first to see what he thinks.......... who knows what will happen lol

BTW I really like the look of your jeep

There is the exact tire that I am looking at and want

its 15 x 8 5 on 5 with 4'' BS and -12 MM offset

I wouldnt know where to start measuring, and how do you figure in -12 mm offset ????

Can anyone tell me if it would fit my 2dr X lol

Redneck, got your tape measure handy lol

Thanks!

You may want to check this thread out if you haven't seen it. It's about someone who purchased the exact wheels you are talking about and they didn't work.

By the way, there is a link in that thread that shows which wheels will work. The two different wheels have the same numbers but the ones that work are the D-windows, not the round ones. I would guess that the D-window Cragers don't have the lip that gets in the way of the caliper.
