Default backspacing question

I am looking at rims from a chericoee, but the guy said hes pretty sure the rims have +1in of backspacing. It doesent sound like it will work. Will it? ill be running 32 or 33's 12.5 wide

With backspacing you want negative.. For example my rims have a -19 and stick out . If this guy is saying the backspacing is + then you will run into problems with rubbing

1.5-2inch should be plenty I would recomend not using them though, I had 1.5 with my old setup and all it did was destroy my front end

Jeep rims have smaller center hole than Ford and usually do not fit, try before you buy!!!!!!
