Piecing together a lift and I'm wondering if there are any known 16" wheels out there that fit the 5x4.5 bolt pattern that are 7" with 4" backspace.

I could use spacers on factory wheels or buy new cragers, but what fun is that?

Let me know what you know!

Thanks

Not with 4 inches of backspacing
Some Ford Ranger and Explorer have 4.5 inches of backspacing but center hole is only 70.3 -vs- Jeeps 71.6

What lift are you thinking of using?

Tom,

Thanks for the Info. Originally I was planning on the 3.5” Econolift for my early 05 CRD. But, I got a great deal on parts for I’ll call the fakenlift. It’s a mixture of the Franken and JBA Econolift.
Here’s what I have either in house or on order:
JBA 4.5 A-arms with 20k on them
Brand New OME 90009 Struts
JBA top Plates with 20k on them
Terraflex Bump Stops with 20k on them
JBA rear bump Stops with 20k on them
OME 948’s with 20k on them
2 extra ISO’s for the rear (3 total)
Brand new Monroe 58649’s load leveler rear shocks.
Used Tri-Link Extension
Remaining to purchase:
OME 790 front coils
Any washers/shims needed for Monroe shocks
Labor for putting the 790’s on their struts.
Conduit Nuts if it’s got too much rake (I want it to be a little raked)
Brake line brackets if needed

Back on topic,
I guess I’ll watch on black Friday for some discounts on Cragers. Seems like a 7” wheel with 4” backspace is the favorite for lifted Libby’s.

Hey Tom,

Are TJ wheels like Moabs hub centric on KJ's?

I'm about to pull the trigger on some Tomb Raider Alcoa 16x8 Forged alloys. They're 4.75 BS btw.
