stock rims

[87manche]

does anyone know what rims would have come stock on an 87 pioneer? I've got one steel rim in the bed, and what I believe are 4 wagoneer rims on the axles. Better yet, how does one measure backspacing? Then I could just figure it out myself.

[DirtyComanche]

Backspacing is the back of the rim center to the back lip of the rim. Lay something straight accross the back of the rim and measure in the center, to make it easy.

 

 

 

Don't ask me what they came with.

thanks DC.

I've got rims that look like these.

but with a black center cap that says jeep.

and the spare looks like this

looks like a 15x7, measure accross the rim to be sure. The steelies are usually 15x6.

Jeep on!

i've got 4 like the small picture came stock on my comanche the large picture looks like a wagoneer wheel

My '89 Pioneer came with rims kinda like in the big picture, except not as shiny and 5 lug with much smaller center caps. I've heard the referred to as the "Turbine" wheels and I've seen the same wheels on XJ's & MJ's from the late eighties. I never measured them but I assumed the size was 15 x7 with 5.25" backspacing which was pretty much the standard on XJ's

yep, thems the wheels I have. I wonder if they came from the same truck that donated the engine/trans swap, or if they're original. Oh well, I like how tey look, I'm keepin them.

The rims in the big pic are 15x7 from an older full-size Grand Wagoneer. They have a 6-bolt lug pattern.

 

The wheel in the smaller pic is a steel 15x7 but wasn't what came stock on the Pioneer. The stock Pioneer rim was the 15x6 rim with 9 rectangular slots. On the Pioneer it came with SS trim rings. But that was with the base tires. If the original buyer got the OWL tire option, they were larger and came on the 15x7 rims like the one in the smaller picture.

[87manche]

the one in the bed (spare) does have the SS trim ring. I guess I didn't notice that in the picture. So likely thats an original, or that's the standard spare. I have the exact tires as xj maki. o I assume that I have the OWL tire option, whatever that is. On another note, I'm tired of the spare in my bed, will the spare fit underneath with a 31" tire? Also, how exactly does that attachment work, I'm not sure I have all the pieces. It's a cable with what looks to be a big wing nut. Oh to have an owners manaul.

[Eagle]

I carried a 31 under mine.

 

The stock spare tire carrier is a winch. Look in the back, above the license plate, and you'll see a hole in the splash apron. Behind that is a tube that runs to the winch. Stick your stock jack handle in there (I hope you have it -- look behind the driver's seat) and crank.

 

OWL = Outline White Letter

well, that makes it interesting then. A few problems with my spare carrier.

A PO put a rollpan on the truck. Why you would do that to a 4x4 Jeep I have no idea. I'm not sure if I can get to the winch.

I also have no factory accesories. No jack, no handle. Currently my jack is a floor jack in my toolbox. I take it that the handle has a matching end to the winch? More than likely looking like a u-joint that's in 2 pieces.

[c0mt3k]

yeah it is its almost if not exactly the samne to any stock ford jack handles

[87manche]

thats what it sounded like.
