Late 80's chevy 1500 trucks had a 5x5 lug pattern and the stock wheels, although ugly, have a 4" backspace. Will they fit our jeeps?

I test fit one on my jeep and it fit. It was very close to the caliper on the front but it cleared. I considered using a full set but ended up getting cragar D window wheels.

Thanks. I couldn't get ahold of the guy after the weekend so I just ordered pro comp series 98. 15x10 with a 3.75" bs. I think it'll look pretty cocky with those wheels, flat fenders, and 35" mtr's.

This is the exact setup I am going with. The lift is going on the Jeep on June 2nd. Can't wait! Love the look of the 35s with 15" wheels

Just something to keep in mind with a 15 wheel. If you plan on upgrading your tie rod or brakes later you may run into fitment issues.

I'm hoping I clear without a lift. I have 18/59 springs and rubi shocks. I gained about 2" in the front and an inch in the rear with them. Plus I picked up a set of xenon flat flares that I'm waiting to put on with the tires and wheels.

They will fit just fine that's what I did and have no issues

That's what I was hoping to hear. I plan on a 2 1/2 or 3" lift at some point but not for a few months. I just got all this stuff at unbelievable of prices, except the wheels, and couldn't pass them up.
