wheel help

[bluedemon]

I am looking to get the Rock Crawlers in size 15x8 with 3.75 backspacing. The problem is that I dont know about the lugs or anything. I have a 95 explorer. Should I get 5 on 4.5", 5 or 6, or 5 on 4.75". I have no idea what these mean.
Thanks,
Matt

5 on 4.5 is what you need.

ok, do you think 4.5" backspacing is too much?

That's quite a bit but it depends on what size tire you will be running, how much lift, and what you want to accomplish. On the 2nd Gens you have more room behind the tire. The factory rims have about 4" of BS.

i would be running 31x10.50's with a 2 inch shackle/TT lift?
would it work?

you need 15x8 with 3.75" of backspacing and a 5 on 4.5" bolt circle, very common wheel.
