Question about backspacing on Jeep XJ wheels.
TheRangerStation write up on wheels shows Jeep XJ 7x15 ET 25 (5x4.5) will fit my 1998 Ranger 14x6 ET12.
Not a fan of the deer hoof wheel.
Has anyone tried this?
Did you have fitment/rubbing issues?
Will I need more than 1/2 inch spacers?
Thanks.

I ran 15x7 steel jeep wrangler rims for awhile on my ‘94 . no problems, it originally had 14’s, it also originally had 3.45 gears & I swapped out the whole axle for one with 4.10’s Best tire size for this gear & 2.3 lima is 225/70’s but 235/75’s will work.

They work fine for 2wd. On a 4wd with dual piston brakes, they made contact with the bleeder only when turning. Took me a minute to figure that one out.
