I am running spacers/adapters about 1'' (not by choice it's what came on my truck) they do have a very good stance. I am getting new tires and I am just going to get ones that will bolt directly to my hubs but with some more backspace. More backspace? Or less?

Eagle Posted February 6, 2021 Share Posted February 6, 2021 Backspace is the distance from the wheel mounting surface (where your wheel's center section actually contacts the brake rotor) to the inside flange of the wheel. For stock factory 15x7 XJ/MJ wheels, the backspacing is 5.25". Any more backspacing wouldn't allow the wheel to turn because the inside flange would be making contact with something. There are NO aftermarket wheel for the XJ or MJ that offer 5.25" backspacing. Most aftermarket wheels seem to run 4" to 4.5" backspacing. Don't confuse "backspacing" with "offset." They are not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
