Wheel sizes still confuse me https://theultimatejeep.com/images/i...onsmiley-1.gif
Lol yeah wheel sizes can be tricky. Like I'm running 4.5" backspace but they're only 8" wide.... in terms of where the outside of the tire sits that would be like running a 9" wide wheel with 5.5" backspace.
To help with fitment its good to target 8" wide with 5" backspace or 8.5" wide with 5.5" backspace.
How did the High Lift f up the door?
I believe the stock wheels are 7.5" wide with 6" backspace (lol but im not 100% sure on that either. If it wasn't so dark out i'd go and take a look at my stock wheels to be sure). If you're running 1.5" wheel spacers then that's like running a 7.5" wide wheel with 4.5" backspace.
I like talking in terms of "backspace" because its easy to visualize where the wheel actually sits. The backspace is the distance that the inside edge of the wheel sits from the hub. So if you take the Width - Backspace, you then know how far out the wheel sits from the hub as well and its easy to compare wheel vs wheel.
For example, my aftermarket 8" wide wheels with 4.5" backspace have the same "inner" clearance as your stock wheels with 1.5" spacers because they have the same equivalent backspace. BUT, the outer edge of your wheel is 3" from the hub (7.5-4.5) whereas my outer edge is 3.5" from the hub (8-4.5); so my wheels stick out 1/2" further than yours.
If you want a wheel that sits the same distance out as your current setup (stock 7.5" with 1.5" spacers) then you'd want an 8" wheel with 5" backspace since 8-5=3".
Not sure if it slid out of the notch on the bottom of the sliders or if the jeep shifted while in the air, but the jack ended pressing in a crease in the door. I will take a pic & show the aftermath. It was the first time I had used the jack with the sliders & it was in the mud while raining on trail side. Body shop said it's 700 to repair. Not high priority at the moment.
