Are you sure they're 10"? A 10.5 tire really shouldn't be on a 10" wheel.

I'd be more concerned that the bolt circle is the same. Later Wranglers went to 5.5", replacing the 4.5" used earlier.

XJs always used 4.5".

15x8 with a 3.75 or 4" backspacing is ideal for a 10.50 wide to a 12.50 wide tire.

A 10" wheel needs a 13:5 or a bit larger for when you air down so the bead doesn't pop off a 15x8 with 3.75BS is great for a 31x10:50 up to a 35x12:50 tire.


You better check the bolt pattern on them for sure.
