4inch backspacing. They might be bent a little. They only rub on a few spots on the wheel not the whole thing. It's kind of hard to explain.

So I think I am going to stick with 16s. I have also been looking at the Toyos and grapplers in 285/75/16. With that said which rims should I be looking at and backpacking etc. I would also think this combo should fit my jeep without a lift.

Have also looked at the falken wild peak and general grabbers...any recommendations out of those as well. Most driving is street with a little off-road mixed in.

Really still going back and forth on this...like a woman shopping for clothes. lol

Pretty sure I will drop to 15s. Looking at the Level 8 Tracker or MB TK wheels. Then for tires I have looked at the 33s of Duratrac, Grabber AT2s, Discoverer AT and the Goodrich All Terrain T/A KO. If I need to drop down from the 33s because of fitness issues I have focused on the Goodrich as they are one of the only ones that seem to have a 32...all the others only have 31s. If going with the 31s I am looking at the Grabber just because it seems like it has good reviews, fits what I need and is priced pretty well under the others.

Although have considered just sticking with the stock steel 16s and just upgrading the tires to 285/75/16 and replacing the wheels later. Just cant make up my damn mind.
