can u fit 15 inch rims off a wrangler onto a 1999 wj. it has same bolt pattern of 5x4.5 but will rotor hit inside of rim????

 

i have 15" rims on my zj no rubbing but the backspace is shallow so idk

 

nope. WJ's have a 5x5.5 pattern and wranglers ('97-'06) have a 5x4.5 pattern.

Vehicles with 5x4.5:
-XJ
-ZJ
-MJ
-TJ
-YJ
-Some liberties
-Ford Rangers/Explorers

Vehicles with 5x5.5:
-WJ
-JK
-WK
-Commanders

 

The 15" in rims wouldnt fit even if they had a 5x5.5 pattern. The brake calipers are too big in a WJ. Kinda sad but true...lol

 

I have 15 inch rims on my 1999 WJ and they dont rub they have a little clearance i have had no problems

 

nevermind about my last post it is kinda confusing to me i looked my 1999 grand cherokee up and it says the min rim size is 16" but the weird thing is i have 15" on mine and honestly no problems. they will fit but very little clearance around the brake caliper. as far as them being off a wrangler the patterns like said before wont match up but a 15 " rim will fit.

 

If you don't have any problems with your 15" moment then its better to stick with what you have...

 

ok, the WJ is definately not 5x5.5 or 5x4.5...... it is a 5x5 the same is the new JK wranglers.....

 

its amazing what a fella can learn on a Jeep forum in 10 months... im glad you brought this back up again so i can see my youthful stupidity.

 

All of us will never know,

what we dont know,

'til we know it!!

 

lol. that goes along with your signature. so true!!!

 

Last time i checked 5x5.5 is 5x5 lmao

 

haha perhaps?

im still confused as to why its the persons first and only post on a 10 month old thread but ya know...its good to get a good grasp on bolt patterns...

 

just thought i would throw it out there that was my first ever post!!!!

 

I am what some may call a greybeard, but untill last saturday
I had never had a Jeep under the shade tree. That can NOT
be said again. 2002 Grand Cherokee .........

I am here to learn from jeep owners, wrenches and modifiers.
What I do have is a set of semi-off road tires in 235-65-15
that was on another 4x4 for less than 3000 highway miles.

The tires rolling are touring tires, mostly highway, quiet
hi-milage. They are 235-65-17.........So I snuck on here
to see if I could learn a little bit. One post stated a 99
Cherokee was running 15's without a problem. What about
2002 or 2003 or 2004. I have already found that Chyrysler
made driveline changes, although minamly from year to year.

What 15 inch rims will work on a 2002, IF ANY? Maybe the post
that NO 15 will work without clearance issues was from
experience on a 2002, 3 or 2004.....Just askin'.
I'm the newkid so please send a PM if helpful. Thanks.
