WV Jeeper
Observer
Not exactly expo related but since I'm a member here, I hoped someone out there in the jeep section could help me out.
My son has 1998 cherokee with 6" long arm lift, currently running 285/75R16 tires, bushwacker flares and some wheels and spacers (to account for different bolt pattern on the wheels). We have inspections here in WV and the tires cannot stick out past the fender flares which they currently do by about an inch+. This is even after recently installing the aftermarket bushwacker fender flares that are supposed to add 4.5" of coverage. So, we need to get different wheels to address the problem. I'll admit up front I'm a gal and I know a little but when it comes to the correct wheel backspacing that wont cause a problem with his lift and not stick out past the fenders I need some help. I know we are looking for a 16" wheel but what width wheel and backspacing is recommended given the info I have provided? I know he likes the "stance" look so not looking to tuck the tires way up in there and certainly dont want issues of rubbing on anything but we need the fender flares to cover the tires completely. I'd appreciate any help please. Thank you!
