Default Winter wheel

I'm new in this forum. Now I'm searching winter rims for my 2004 GC. The original tire is P225/75R16. Rim is 16x7 with bolt pattern 5x5(127mm). Have found a a set of wheels out off 2002 GC. That is where my question come from. WJJeep said that 2002 and 2004 GC use same bolt pattern. But I checked VIP auto and some place else and they said that 2002 GC use diffrent pattern 5x4.5(114mm?). That is why I can not make decision to buy those rims. Is there any body who can give an answer for sure? Thanks.

Measure your bolt pattern and you will know exactly what you have. If you want to see how to do it check this out.

All wjs, that is years 99 to 04 have the same bolt pattern, 5x5. wjjeeps.com is a great info source by the way.

Unless the set of OE rims is cheap, pick yourself up a set of Cragar Soft 8's (i prefer the black ones) should be able to pick up a set around 200$ or less shipped.

Default about backspace

Thank you for the information. I check soft 8 rims but they have a 4 inch backspace. the factory wheel has 6 inch backspace.n Is it really matter?
