Are the wheels also off your Rubicon? Cause those won't work, the XJ has a different bolt pattern.....I'm assuming we are talking about an XJ? Either way those are around a 32" tire, so will probably rub the lower control arms when turning, and might rub on the bumper end caps and or fender flares when hitting bumps. The rubbing can be fixed with some trimming.

Wheel adapters from the JK 5x5" to the XJ 5x4 1/2".

These will fix the bolt pattern issue and also the control arm rubbing

Nope, I'm selling my Rubi wheels and buying aftermarket wheels for the XJ.

The 17's are above my pay grade but a 15 takes a 8" wheel with 3 3/4-4" of BS.

I think I will be okay with a 17x9 and -12 which is 4.5" of backspacing.
