Will these tires work on these rims

[Kathy]

Im planning on buying these bfg ko2 tires and putting them on these aftermarket rims (which will be painted), that are 8 inches wide. These rims were on a 88 jeep Cherokee that has the same bolt pattern as my tj. Will this work on my jeep? I have a 2000 tj sport with about a 2.5 inch lift. I hear people talk about backspacing and these rims seem deeper than the stock rims. The reason I need to switch is there are 16 inch rims currently on my jeep and I'm being told I should go back to 15 inch rims. Thanks for your help

Look up how to measure back spacing to see what those wheels have. With that tire you need something around 4" or less.

I think you'll be fine. Most after market jeep wheels have backspacing around 3.75 to 4 inches. stock wheels are 5" - 5.5" of backspacing. The smaller the number in regards to back spacing the further out the wheels will sit from the hub.

If the back spacing is 5"-5.5" (which I doubt) you can always add an inch wheel spacer.

We measured and the backspacing is 4. So I think I'll be good. Local fleet farm has buy three get one free on the ko2, plus I get 10 percent off and 50.00 in gift cards with my purchase. I, getting a hell of a deal!

Really nice deal you found there. You'll really like those tires.

Just get some new tires that will fit your new rims. For instance, if you plan on sticking with 15" rims, then just stick with 15" tires, so you can swap them over.

Not Kathy, but she said "Fleet Farm" in an earlier post. Awesome stores.

 

[UpperMI]

Fleet Farm is a chain in Wisconsin, Iowa, North Dakota and Minnesota. I loved going to those stores when I was a kid.

That's the store we always stopped at every time we made a trip to se family in Madison. These are the types of things I miss by living in California.
