IIRC
the OE wheels have 5.5" back spacing
as far as what wheels to use with a lift will depend on who you ask
ask me and I say keep the OE wheels
the will give the least rub with the most tire
good example
'03 KJ sport 4X4 w/Rusty's spring lift running 30X9.5 R15 on 15X7 black steelies w/3.75 back spacing rubs more than me
what I have
'03 KJ Limited 4X4 w/OME Lift running 245/75R16 (31X10.5 equivalent) on OE wheels
now the Rusty's lift is advertised as a 2.5" lift the OME lift is listed as only being 1.75" so why do you think he rubs more?
note that he had more rub front and back than I did when both lifts were new now he rubs more than I and I have wheeled a little more as our KJ is the "test platform" for our 101 course
