Not a tire, but a wheel question.
Ive been looking at some aftermarket wheels and wondering on back spacing. Seems like different brands have different sizes. Im running the stock eco wheels in a 15x7 (pretty sure that's the size) but I don't know what the backspacing is on them. Im also running one tire size up, a 235 instead of the factory 225. Jegs has "D" windows with 3.75 backspacing and Quadratec (and everyone else) has the Cragar sSoft 8's with 4" backspacing. Is the 1/4" difference going to make a big difference with my 235/75/15's? Also, looking at the big picture, down the road in a year or two Im looking at a 4" lift (or thereabouts) and wider tires, like in the 10" range. HOWEVER, I want to use the same wheels then. SO, will the 4" back spacing be better for then, should I not worry about the "then" but the "now", etc. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

haha, since I got my XJ right before New Year's (new to Jeep land), I have been on this site hours a day. God Bless the internet--I wouldn't have been able to tear my intake and exhaust manifolds out and everything else that goes with it without this site (to get to my leaky freeze plugs) You guys are all awesome.
