I want 16 inch wheels for my 92 xj and I might be too cheap to buy new ones :0).
I have found stock wrangler 16 inch wheels for acceptable prices but I dont know if the bolt pattern is the same.
I am wondering what other vehicles have the 5- 4.5 lug pattern or if the wrangler wheels will work.
Forgive my ignorance I am new to this jeep stuff.
Thanks, Bryan

 

i was looking for a set myself recently

Grand Cherokees till 98
Wrangles till 05 (pre JK)
Any Liberty

there are a lot of fords with the 5 on 4.5 but the hub is smaller on them so they dont fit but most after market wheels will.

 

So long as they are post CJ, but pre-2007, they should work fine. I believe the YJ's were 5x4.5, and I know the Wranglers went to 5x5 in 2007 and up.

 

yep the YJs and TJs were the same so if its a 16 from either one of those they will work

 

Thanks guys, my plan is to trim my fenders, install a 2 inch lift and put 235/85/16 tires ( I like the tall skinnies).
irongrave, are you the one with the black XJ that did the write up on trimming fenders? If so thats how I want my jeep to look.

 

if those are your plan then you should be able to get away with stock style wheels/backspacing and they should tuck nicely as well. I'd like to see when you have it done.

 

Ford Ranger,Dodge Dakota and YJ/TJ wheels,will all fit a XJ. My '94 XJ also has a bastard pack rear spring pack using a Pro Comp Ford Ranger add a leaf.

 

yep that is my XJ, its a little bigger now and all armored up see build thread for updated on it

 

Also look in junk yards for rangers and exploders with after markit rims as they have the same bolt pattern.

 

Just a thought, I put 16" wheels on my 98 XJ with 235/70/16's the tires hit the lower control arms pretty bad. I use 1.25" spacers and all is well now.

 

Cash is limited? Got to craigslaist or ebay... You might find someone selling rims that fits your jeep...

 

i got a set of 15x8 black and polished wheels for sale lol like new for 400

 

If you deside to go new, Cragars in silver and black are $62 and chrome are $75 at summit racing.

 

I just found some black soft 8 16's on ebay for 336.00, I dont know what the backspacing is. I guess I will have to be careful... I may find a good deal on stock rims of some sort then end up spending more than new rims because I may need spacers.

 

I got a set of 16" wheels from an '01 Explorer that fit. Like mentioned above, the hub hole was a bit too small, but 5 minutes with a file fixed that. I use them for my snow tires 245/75R16.
I also got a set of 16" wheels I think from a Jeep Liberty that fit, but 2 of them are damaged, so I haven't used them until I can maybe find another pair.
The Explorer wheels have better backspacing, so they don't rub on the lower control arms.
