Jeep wheels on Duster
Got some on an early 5 lug Dakota right now, Grand Cherokee 15x7 in the front, Wrangler 15x8 in the rear:
Notice how the center had to get bored out from about 2" to 2.75" in order to clear the hub. Same issue on A bodies.
In addition, I was wrong about the backspace in my post above (old age memory)- the 15x8s have about 5.75 backspace, the 15x7s have just shy of 5.5. Both are a no go on a stock a body without spacers.
I had to run thin spacers on my Dart (many moons ago) to get the 15x7s to clear the upper A arm and ball joint to my satisfaction, and as said previously, had a B body rear which gave me more width for spring clearance in the rear with the 15x8s.
Jeep wheels just run a ton of backspace, and they're not designed for a spindle type hub... makes them difficult to use.
Probably because they don't fit without work.
