will 18x9 wheels fit my cherokee? also an a/c Question?
 

i have a set of 18x9 wheels with 6 inch backspacing, i was wondering if
any one has any expierence with anything similar, or how tall and wide a
tire can i go with a stock ride height.
now about the a/c, i wanted to know if my 88 cherokee use's R-12 or
R-134? any insight on either subject will be appreciated.

R-12 was standard for 88.

Stock is 15x7 wheels and I think 3.5 backspacing. 30X10.5 tires rub
on those wheels w/o a suspemsion lift, bigger/wider tires require
serious trimming. Now consider the mounting pattern on the wheels
flanges and I doubt you're gonna cram 18 inch wheels under it, at
least not with tires on them.

Hi Brad,
The six inch back spacing came a front wheel drive rice burner, no
way would past your tie rods.
The '88 would have used R-12, which has a filler size of 7/16" X
20. If it's converted to R-134 it'll have an adapter screwed on top of
it: http://www.f11view.net/misc/ac_retrofit_problem.html
