Wheel Offsets on Factory Rims

Do you know what the Offsets on these factory wheels are?

We're going to be putting 235/75/R15 Tires on the last two styles of rims (Michlin (SP?)X-Radials on the second and GoodYear AT/D2 on the third.) Dad has 235/75/R15 Wrangler AT/D's on the first set of rims and has some rubbing on the LCA's (about 1"-2" marks around 1/2 way down them) The third rims are the ones on my '98 Limited and those seem to sit out a bit further in offset than the first ones and I haven't noticed any difference on my Sister's Briarwood. Am I seeing things offset wise on my Jeep, and if not do you think those will rub on my sisters and my own XJ's?

And before I forget, all three are not lifted, have air shocks in the back, Dad's got RS5000 shocks on the front and My Sister and I are either factory (I know mine are) or replacements installed by a previous owner.

They all have a 5.25" offset/backspacing.

If you experience rubbing on control arms you can adjust the wheel stops located on inner side of knuckle.

Can someone elaborate on this adjustment. I have 30's on and get some rub turning left. I'd love to get rid of it if I can. Thanks.

Good point, forgot to ask that last night.

On the inside of each steering knuckle is a bolt threaded into a hole with a nut welded about halfway down as a depth stop that acts as a contact point when the steering is at full luck. If you unscrew that bolt and insert a couple of washers it will stick out farther, thereby limiting your turning radius and eliminating the tire rubbing problem. YMMV.

Thanks LawnChero', I'll have to check that out next chance I'm under it.
