Default 1990 Dakota Convertible 4wd wheel swap

Hi Everyone,
I recently purchased an original owner 1990 Dakota Convertible 4wd
It has after market wheels and bald tires, so I am looking to upgrade.
I found these Alcoa Wheels from 2003 Jeep Rubicon
Size 16x8
Bolt Circle Inches 5x4.5
Bolt Hole Dia. Inches .62
Hub Bore Dia. Inches 3.295
Backspace Inches 4.75
Offset/SRW or Half Dual Space/DRW Inches 1 .5
Planning on installing Dunlop Grandtrek 265/70/16 tires.
Will I experience rubbing with my stock 4x4 suspension?
Thanks,
Erik

Default I must be wording this wrong

I must be wording this wrong, since no one seems interested in replying.
I hope I have enough clearance.
I will let you 99 viewers know how it goes in case you come across a similar problem.

In reality the only ones to know are the people who've done it. I'm not to sure about 16x8s might hit your frame at full lock depending on tires but keep is posted because clearly you are the first to attempt this

Where did you get that cross reference info ?

Info for vehicles like that would be very handy.
