Let's see if I got this right...

Ok, forgive me all. I've been reading so much on this that my head is hurting.

I've got the Rusty's 2.5" lift on the way. I'm debating Rock Crawler Series 87's (http://www.4wheelparts.com/prodDetail.aspx?partNo=PCW87-5766) for the KJ with 31x10.5-15's.

I'm looking at 4.5" of backspacing on these.

Is that gonna work?

5" of BS may be better,remember that a 10.5" tire is wider than my 265's.Other wise they should work just fine.

Good day,

Correct me if I am wrong, But I don't think you are able to fit a fifteen inch rim over the stock Liberty brakes. I believe there to be no clearance between the rim and front caliper.
And yes, a 10.5" wide tire is wider than a 265... By .07 of an inch!

Cheers

Some 15" STEEL rims do fit on the KJ,and the Crager D-window ones do with the correct BS.

Good day,

Cool, I was mis-informed then.
That definitely opens up a wider range of tire choices then.

Thanks

These wheels look similar to the Cragar D window wheels. Is there any way to ensure they'll fit before I order them?

Good day,

Call the company you are dealing with and ask them
if these wheels will fit. Ask the
company what their return policy is and how much
the restocking fee is for (If any) one wheel
is.

See if anybody on this forum has them fitted on their KJ!

Other than that... Order one anyway and take a chance!

You can always turn it into a side table with a nice round
piece of glass, put some lug nuts in it...

Cheers

Yeah what socks said,the only way is to get one and test fit it.

Yeah, just figured it was worth a shot to see if anyone had fit them before.

FWIW, that "31 inch" tire is shown as 30.2" in the spec chart. That should keep the rub to a minimum, right?
