Ex) stock rubi rim = 6.25"bs ---- A lot of guys are running 1.25" spacers with there rubi rims. does this set up equal 5"bs?

yes it does but remember that the wheel width is only 7.5" on stock wheels and most aftermarket wheels are somewhere between 8-9". For examble a 9" wide wheel with 5" backspacing will stick out 1.5" more on the sides of the jeep than a 7.5" wide wheel with the same backspacing.

Default the other stock wheels?

Does anyone know what the back spacing is for the 'other' stock wheels, like the 16" alloy version?
