Just bought a stock 1999 xj and need some help figuring out the wheel/tire combo!! (for a snow tire setup)

Here's what I want: http://www.americanracing.com/wheelSpecs/1945/10/4323/ar172-baja
(in satin black). So what's the deal with the back spacing? XJs are supposed to be 4 right? So if it's not lifted, and I get 3.76 b/s will they hit the fenders?

Also want to pair the rims with these tires- are 235/75R15 the right size for 15x8 rims?

Thanks in advance!

If you are not lifting and wanting not to hit, then the most back spacing you can get is the ticket. Those tires with that wheel would do OK I think. It is only on full stuff in the rear that you would have a problem, if any. But 3.75 I think would be OK
