nice! they do look alike. good thing is, i have a 5th rim that was in the jeep when i got it, hopefully its just this one rim thats off and the spare may be the same so i can swap them. i find it odd though how one rim out of the set could be different, unless they were purchased used and wasent the right set..

the spare may have been purchased at a later date, and not matched up right.

thats true.. maybe the drivers rear wheel is the spare rim..

another thing i can do that i didnt think of, i can take the other rear wheel and put it on the drivers side, and see if its normal or not. if its not then we know its not the wheels.

take a picture of each wheel like the one posted, maybe we can tell if there is a difference in backspacing.

i thought the outlaw 2's were aluminum?

I have the same problem back right sits half in in and the other three sit out. i have a 3" lift was on when i bought it. I think my rear axle isnt lined up correctly, like it may be shifted to the right if your looking at it from the rear. My rims are all the same tires are the same

mine is a stock 2wd. i dont think mines out of allignment, becuase i would think if it was over too much to the right, then the passenger rear wheel would be sticking out too much, which its not.

it seems as my drivers rear side sags a little lower than the passenger side, so i think thats why. i pushed it up a little and had someone look standing behind, and it looks level once the body is level.

would this just mean i need a new set of shocks?

Shocks do not hold the vehicle up. They simply absorb the bumps in the road to provide you with a more comfortable ride. You most likely have a leaf spring sagging due to age.

ah ok.

is there a set of leafs i should replace to get about 2" of lift over stock, or should i just replace with stock leafs? my jeep sags alot becuase of the system in the back as well, so i need to lift it up a little to make up for the weight inside.
