| The ones I have found are 3.75" backspacing... Also talked with someone I knew and he is currently running the same thing... Think I may try it... worst comes to worse, it will be another thing to change down the road!!!! Besides, it is a Jeep, who needs breaks anyway??? | |

| again... beware of the 15" ones. There's a lot of people that have had problems fitting them due to rubbing the caliper. Too bad the tires you have aren't 16's, I'm running 16" Cragers no problem. | |

I do know I have the Dana 44 rear axle, but just the stock on the front..... :seestars:
I am 100% positive that JK's are 5 on 5 Apparently the dealers are clueless (what else is new LOL) | |

| JK's have 5x5 bolt pattern... Unless you've done some sort of axle swap?
15" wheels are hit or miss with the JK's. Some have problem rubbing the caliper, others don't. But even with the ones that don't, you end up with 1/4" or less clearance between the wheel and caliper. So it's not difficult to end up with mud/stick/pebble/etc stuck there.
To answer your question: Discount Tires sells Crager Steelies rebranded as "Unique". That's what I'm running (16" size). They cost around $80 each installed | |
