offset rims

[Sumchick]

So I want to buy some offset rims for my 92 comanche but don't know what is a good size, anyone have any ideas

[Sumchick]

And where would I get a good size lift kit

p.s 

I am in Canada

Backspacing really will just depend on the style you are looking for and what size tire you are going to be running. 3-4" is most times a decent amount for a little more aggressive look. Stock should be 5.25 on 15x7

 

Lift is a loaded question.

 

What's your budget?

What are you building it for?

I always used "offset" when speaking of wheels, but I guess "backspacing" is more common Jeep terminology. 

 

That said (and I'm not techie)  ... the size tire you want to run will drive the backspacing and lift requirement. 

 

Less backspacing = more tire sticking outside of the wheel well.

 

Lastly, many lift "kits" are not complete.  In any event, you'll get what you pay for.

AND...... seeing as you have a 92, can you please go to the registry page and submit your VIN number. 92 models are few and far between, especially in the Great White North!

What's your idea of "a good size" lift kit? The choice is very dependent on your intended use of the truck. Personally, after wheeling an MJ with a 4-inch lift, I think the best lift is zero. (I took the lift off and returned it to stock height, and it didn't affect where I could go off-road very much at all.)

Whereabouts in Canada are you?

Piecing together a lift is usually a better bet than trying to find a kit, and what works best is very dependent on what you're doing with it.

Eagle speaks truth on lifts as he generally does about all things. Tire size does more to determine how much ground clearance you've got, getting your axles further off the ground. Lifts just allow for more tire size. You can run 31's on a stock MJ, just need to adjust steering stops, although 2" lift is decent at that size, 2" coil spacers and lift shackles would do you fine for cheap. Higher than 2" you'll want to look into aftermarket control arms and track bar in the front, longer sway bar links, and probably need to correct pinion angle in the rear. The higher you go, the more complex your lift becomes.

If you're close to Jasper I'll trade you these wheels with a little more poke for your factory set if you still have them. 

 

Also, happy Canada day!
