You do know the bolt pattern is larger on those Rubi wheels, right? You have 5 on 4.5, those wheels are 5 on 5.

The TJ Moabs are 5x4.5s, the JK Moabs are 5x5. Need adapters to run the JK rubi wheels.

Not if you get the right ones.

TJ Moabs bolt right up.

You're looking for wheels off of an 98(?)-06 TJ.

The TJ ones? No. They look awesome on an XJ.

The JK ones are ugly IMO, and dont look right on an XJ, plus the hassle of running adapters.

These would look good if they were cleaned up and powdercoated
