CJ wheels definitely won't fit. You need wheels with a 5x4.5 bolt pattern.

You could run adapters to fit em though. You'll be able to use new Wrangler and WJ wheels as well since they're the same bolt pattern.

Nope. JK Wranglers and WJs use 5x5 and CJs use 5x5.5. Also those tires haven't been made in a long time and are most likely dry rotted and not road worthy.

For what you'd pay for adapters you could buy a brand new set of rims. You can get those white wagon wheels for 40-50 bucks each brand new. You'll spend at least $200 for a decent set of adapters plus some old rusty wheels.

You could buy adapters to make them fit, but for what adapters would cost, you could just buy a brand new set of those wheels that actually fit your Jeep.
