Yes! didn't think about that!! back to the drawing board. So if I get a 9 incher it needs to have 5.25" backspace to stay the same and if i get an 8 inch rim it would need to be 4.75" backspace. Is my thinking correct?

My wife has been driving the XK around town (we switch every couple weeks between cars).

He asked my wife if we take it offroad and said it looks great. She told him that it does get a decent bit of offroad time.
Last saturday a lady walked up to me and my wife as we were putting the kids in and ask for information on lifting hers cause she thought mine looked taller than hers (parked about 50 yds away) while in the Burlington Coat Factory parking lot. I gave her some info and she seemed quite excited to know that she can lift it.
Just thought I'd share that. I've gotten lots compliments on the look (esp. since the bumper mod).

Yeah pretty much. But its hard to find wheels with those specs. Most of the 5 on 5 bolt pattern wheels are made for the newer JK Wranglers so its hard to find a nice looking wheel in the offset/back spacing required for our Xk's.
