The letter stands for the tire rim profile. "J" rims are most commonly
found on passenger vehicles, "JJ" on 4x4s, Jaguar uses "Ks", old VWs used
"P" or "B"
The number is the amount to off-set or in-set.

Re: Need Wheel Offset Specs for ZJ, Wrangler, Rubicon
I converted the 50.8 on the wheel you photographed from what I assume
to be millimeters into inches, result was "2," so I am assuming that
number denotes the offset of the wheel. Also assuming the picture was
of a 7" wheel, I am guessing that the backspace of that wheel would be
5". Am I doing this correctly? (Just want to know so I can make
sense of the numbers on whatever wheels I am looking to buy.)

Re: Need Wheel Offset Specs for ZJ, Wrangler, Rubicon
Thanks TW,
Now to the real issues.
I have a line on a set of TJ "Ravines" and also on a set of Rubicon
"Moab" rims. Haven't been quoted a price on either yet, and am
wondering what is fair for each style for a set of 4 used rims. The
Moabs have a few scratches and probably need to be refurbished a bit.
Any ideas?
As to backspacing, Keven Fell at Kevin's Jeep Parts suggests 4.5"
backspacing for 31 or 32" tires on a ZJ with 3 1/2" lift. He usually
knows his stuff, so I am wondering if anyone on this newsgroup has real
world experience with 31x10.50R15 or 265/75R16 (32x10.50) with 5" or 5
1/2" backspacing on a ZJ with 3 1/2" lift, stock lower control arms?
I have an ARB front bumper so rubbing there isn't an issue, but I am
somewhat concerned with clearance between the tires/wheels and the
front springs and control arms. This Jeep isn't going to run the
Rubicon, but I do want to be able to handle some mild to moderate
obstacles.
Thanks.
