Backspacing

[Matthew K]

What is the backspacing for a 95 Jeep Cherokee Sport (Standard 5-spoke steel wheels)? Will a 15X7 with 5.5 backspacing work? Thanks!

Stock backspace is 5 1/4".What tires do you plan to run?

Wayne,
I have Pirelli Scorpion ATs (225 75 R15). Thanks.

I haven't measured mine but I know the TJ 15x8" wheels are 5.25" backspacing which I'd guess the 7" wide XJ wheels are less than that.
