Some Canyons were 15x8 but thats a good rule of thumb they are 15x7

100% untrue. TJ canyons are 15x8 with a 5" backspace. 16" Moabs, 17" Moabs, new grand Cherokee wheels. Blanket statements do nothing for actual facts.

Perhaps I should be more specific. Almost all the 15", 5 on 4.5 OEM rims between '84 and '04 with exception of a few premium packaged models have 15" x 7" with 5.25" backspace. Happy now?
