Jeep Wheels Fit?

[ltcbutch]

Will the Rubicon Jeep wheels fit the EB? Found a nice set of tires/wheels for sale off of one.

Also, I got to looking at the lug pattern on the old 68-71(?) CJ5 I am selling and it appears with rough measurements to be the same as my EB? Could this be my lucky day as the old Jeep has 15" slotted mags on it.

Thanks.

Wrong Board!

Sorry, eyes and fingers were on two different pages. Please move to tech forum.

Thanks.

The old CJ's had the same pattern as did the Sami's but the Wranglers do not.

You were right the first time - this is more a chat topic than a tech topic! As Tito noted CJ wheels fit - and FSJ wheels will too. The FSJs had some nice OEM slots.

CJ has 5 on 5½" bolt circle. Same a Bronco. As long as the center hole is large enough and everything clears it will be good.

YJ/TJ/1st gen Rubicons and other 80's and newer small jeeps have 5 on 4½" bolt circle. Won't fit a Bronco.

Latest Rubicons and Wranglers (JK) have 5 on 5" bolt circle

Did someone say Sami?

Thanks for the info.

Now I need to pull a wheel of the old CJ and check the width (and make sure the center hole clears as Broncobowsher said). Hard to eyeball it but it looks like 15x8's just sitting there with the 31s on it. May just have a set of slots that need a little TLC and a EB for a new start on life.

Your Bronco may try to "reject" anything that came off a jeep, just saying....

Understood, but those wheels will feel so much more love being on a real 4wd.

Stock CJ wheels will have a bigger center hole than stock EB wheels. They will fit no problem.

Thanks. Good to hear. That takes some guess work out of it.

Excellent point!;D
