ok, did a little searching. what we have are eagle 589s. not sure if they are still available though. i will keep searching that. but i looked up eagle 589 and they look exactly like mine, and the ones you posted.
yes. it had the tire on it but was removed from the Jeep so he could measure it.
He also said back spacing is measured to the absolute outer edge of the wheel, so mine is 3 1/4". I always thought it was suppose to measured to the surface where the tire bead contacts the wheel... :dunno:

this is about all i have found so far. many wheel sellers say they do not sell the eagle 589 and the american racing is the replacement. but the offsets are diferant.

Looks like Eagle 589's are close out.
I found a place that has:
15x7 / 5 on 4.5
15x8 / 5 on 5 and 5 on 4.75, but no 5 on 4.5

I am not sure I am measuring my backspacing correctly, but I get about 3.00". Specs for that wheel are 3.25"...
If I measure all the way to the outside of the metal lip, it is about 3.25", but I thought backspacing technically measured to where the rubber bead meets that lip, which would be just under 3.00" on my wheel. But I don't know.

Moving the block of wood to on top of the lip should get you to 3.25"
Yep. Is that how I am suppose to measure backspacing?
Edit: ok.. I'm a dumbass....
I thought you measure back spacing to where the "rim width" line is... but, if I measure the right way, I get right on 3.25".
Thanks everyone!
Ok, now that I know what it is... anyone have one for sale.?

Did you try discount? Sometimes they have old takeoffs, you might get lucky
I did... they told me to try 4wheel parts/ORW.

i used to allways measure from the way you did. but the norm now is basically if you lay the wheel on the ground face up, then measure from the ground to the mating surface, thats what you get. so yes, we have 3.25 back space.
they sold a bunch of these wheels, so they turn up all the time. like i mentioned, i saw a set on an older toyota at the junk yard. just couldnt get them because it was still on the ground and they wont let you bring in a jack. by the time i found someone that spoke english to help, a guy that spoke spanish beat me to them. thats what i get for being a dumb ass in spanish class. if you find a full set, let us know. i think we can make a group by since we all need a spare.
