Looking at an 88 MJ is it 2wd or 4x4?

My truck has gladiator wheels on it. 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?

idk wheels don't make sense to me. https://www.4wheelparts.com/p/pro-comp-51-series-rock-crawler-15x10-wheel-with-5-on-4-5-bolt-pattern-gloss-black-51-5165/_/R-FPWF-51-5165

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.
