I'm looking at a steel wheel for my 08 JK 2d, 15 or 16" with 5 on 5 bolt pattern and 4" of backspace is available. Is there a clearance issue with the calipers or anything else with either with 4" of backspace. Thanks.

 

Somebody knows this one,,,I hate to order and ship a wheel back after test fitting it,,,anyone?

15 or 16" by 7" steel with a 4" backspace have clearance or any other problems to worry about? Thanks.

 

I am no expert, but I think
some people are running 15's, but not all 15's will clear the brakes
lots of people are running 16's (me too), the stock wheels are 16, so there should be no brake issue

the stock has 6.25 backspace, so a 4" will give you and extra 2 1/4 clearance, and a 7" rim is on the thin side, meaning you'll have even more room. Look at my signature to see what I am running.

 

Thanks, I have read various fit/no fit threads and I guess I'll just take the leap & order one and try it. Thanks!

 

did this work for you? I'm looking at ordering the crager soft 8's in 15x8 with 4" back space. I found a hell of a deal so I hope it works!
