******* OEM wheel swaps anyone?

Did I hear jeep wheels????
07-11 wrangler 17s on 225/50/17s. This is 10 in rear drop in bottom pic and the 5/8 in top with no engine. U had 1.5" spacers all the way around but might be stepping up to 2" depending in how they work with my 7/10 drop

I have 5 of those exact wheels off my wifes 2012 JK that I am trying to sell. I was thinking about putting them on my project but would have to bore the centers out of them to get them to fit right?

You don't have to do anything to the wheels. Just run a 1.5" to 2" spacer all te way around.

Yeah te spacer takes care of the bore problem.

The front tire looks like it sits about right for a 1.5" spacer, would you run 1.5" front and 2" rear? My truck is 4/6 now and going to 5/6 or 5/7 this week.

OP - I know your pain. I get emails almost daily about the Corvette wheels on my 454SS (not so much from here, but definitely from several other sites).

I would imagine that's because people have a hard time thinking anything off a c4 would look good.


O.P. What years of jeep have that bolt pattern?

Any with 5x5, 5x127 bolt pattern....a quick check shows all 99+ grand cherokees.

You'd probably be better off with the 1.5 if your that low. Give you room to run a little bigger tire

Man... I am torn! I like the way they look, but I think I am going to just buy the 20" wheels I want and run the 15's till then. I can't see spending money to make this setup work and then spending more down the road. If you know of anyone that wants a complete set for cheap... let me know.

Ok. Will do. The only reason I did mine is because I work at a dealership, so I acquired some tires for free, and then spur of the moment came across the set of 5 wheels for 175 so I had to do it!
