Jeep rim back space

[CWLONGSHOT]

I mounted up the Ruby rims on the MJ today. Got the ruler out and measured there BS. Guess what, its 4.75"!! Kinda figure it was less as the Ruby uses a wider tire with side biters (MT-R) and there flairs are wider to accommodate. But I haven't had any that I could measure till now.

 

 

I already knew the number, but also measured the phone dial jeep rims my BFG MT's are mounted on. They are 5.25". Now the pic shows 5 3/8" but the straight edge was up on the lip of the rim giving it an additional 1/8".

 

 

If anyone else can provide pictures and information please feel free to update this thread. Maybe it can be a source for information on a active topic here on C.C.

How wide is the rim

[CWLONGSHOT]

I didn't dismount the Ruby rims to measure. But they are supposed to be 16x8" wide.

 

The phone dials are 15X7.

The rim size should be marked on the outside, next to the valve stem.

I had read Moabs had 5" of B.S. most places. Interesting

I checked the rims, I cannot see the back but nothing for size on the front facing surfaces. Your correct though, I too have seen the sizes molded right into the rim.

 

I have herd different BS numbers for these rims as well. This removes all doubt. 4.75" is what the BS of a 2005 16"X8" Rubicon rim is.
