Wanted. Rims for xj 91.

Hey New to the site and 4x4ing. Am going to be lifting my xj in a bit and need rims. I am going to be installing a 4.5 zone lift. And 33s I hope maybe 32s. I need rims with a 4.75 offset apparently to fit. And help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and hope to get out on the trails with some others soon.

depends on how wide of a tire you plan on putting on, 10.5 you wont have issues, if you go to a 11.5/12.5 you will need some more space. Personally I like the look of a 0 offset rim so I went with 1.5" wheel spacers. Don't let anyone tell you that wheel spacers are the wrong way to go as it puts more stress at the fulcrum, it's absolutely no different than putting offset rims on. I paid $160.00 shipped for my spacers which come with a lifetime warranty which is cheaper than buying a set of offset rims.

Yup. I'm running 32x11.5x15 on wrangler stock wheels (approx. 35MM offset which is nothing) with room to spare, infact I could put 12.5 on and still have the room I need.
Good luck and keep checking back as we usually post up when we are going out.

Just got 33x12.5 15. Think a 1.5" spacer will do?

Ya 1.5" should be lots, I'm on 11.5 and I could easily fit 12.5s.
