new wheels..
i was looking around and i found crager wheels at summitracing.com. the "soft 8" in black seems to be a great deal. (approx $40/rim) i know to run a 15X8.
i went to tire rack to get my bolt pattern and it says 5X139.7... does that also translate into 5X5.5? also, what offset if any?
thanks

The 15X8s have a 4" backspacing so that would put the mounting surface in about the center of the rim. After looking at the specs on summit it says the 15X8 has a -12mm offset which is little less than half an inch. I don't much about offset except its the relationship of the mounting surface to the centerline of the rim. Here's a link to some information http://www.conceptonewheels.com/fitment.html I'm pretty sure though that these rims will fit with no problems.

There's a pic of some on a Jeep Liberty in this guy's signature. http://www.jeepkj.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1463 and some on a ch**y http://gastiresoil.blogsome.com/images/bfg1.jpg and some one on here has some but I can't remember his name, I remember the truck is kinda goldish color.
Here he is I found it in the galleries.

Yes that is right just like the backspacing, the less the backspacing the more negative the offset is, making the wheel stick out and giving a deep dish look. Thats why I like the 15X10s with only 4" of backspacing. I don't have a clue what the factory offset is but probably pretty close to 0.
