I've been on the look out for new tires and wheels and i found the deal of a lifetime! pro comp m/t's and some cool looking no name black wheels, for 250 bucks! no rott 100% tread, no problems with dings nothing! well one problem.... bolt pattern isnt the same, well its the same but they dont line up, im asuming its for a wrongler. they are off by less then half an inch..

so whats my best course of action? i want the black wheels on my xj, (a size that fits) should i trade? should i sell? what would you do? need your input.....

thanks guys

That sounds like a great price for just the tires if they are new, I'd buy them have them broke down, find out what the rims would fit, sell 'em and get the rims you want. If you are patient you will problebly make out like a Bandit, jump on the tire's ASAP. What size are they?

mrcartoon99

yeah i bought them..but when i got them home and tried to put them on and the wheels dont fit

i bet the pattern is 5 on 4 3/4. its a chevy pattern. i would keep the tires and get new rims

I would find out exactly what the bolt pattern is and just buy wheel adapters. I put 5 on 5 inch rubicon wheels on my x j i've always been a little skeptical of wheel adapters until i put them on. I am an avid wheeler and never trusted the strength of wheel adapters . i have been in some sketchy situations and theyve held up great so far.

wmatt182003:yeah the wheels are off by a little, where would i find these wheel adapters?

daivida:they are 30x9.5, not 31s like i wanted but they will do untill i can upgrade

mrcartoon99

nvm i found it

mrcartoon99

btw he said he took them of his dads jeep...i never thought to ask what jeep it was

wmatt182003

Wheel adapters or a safe and easy bet. spidertrax makes good adapters but they are about 100 dollars a pair . they are some different companies online you can buy them from. Make sure they come with the studs already pressed in and make sure they are ½ stud like your factory studs so you don't have to buy new lug nuts.

wmatt182003

If they were already on a jeep it's probably a 5 on 5 lug pattern where an xj is 5 on 4.5.

mrcartoon99

got it matt thanks alot, you've been a huge help.

and black wheels are cheap so you can sell those ones and cover most of he cost of replacements, i bet

For that price might as well buy new cragar soft 8's.

Anyways i agree with the idea of just selling the rims, and getting new ones with the $made from them.

mrcartoon99

if the rims i have now werent beat id throw the tires on them. Just sand and paint them black haha, but ill look into what matt said. see if i cant find them cheaper. if not ill have to by new rims
