Default What else used a 5 x 4.5 pattern??

I'm trying to find other options for wheels. I'm want to think outside of the box and maybe use stock wheels from another model/manufacturer.
Searching has been a bit useless, maybe I just suck at searching?

If you know a wheel that fits, list the year(s)/make/model/backspace and what spacer you may need to fit it on the XJ.
I'd appreciate any help I can get.
Thanks fella's

i have heard that some of the ford stock wheels need the hub section widened a little, but nothing a dremel or grinder couldnt take care of.

My 2004 Acura TL has the same bolt pattern. Not sure about the backspacing, i was just throwing it out there.

Also, just as a heads up 5x4.5 is the same as 5x114.3. I found a small list. Just Google "what cars have a 5x114.3 bolt pattern" and you should see some results.

5x115 should fit as well. It opens up a ton of other options.

Yeah I tried Google first. A few things came up but not much. I figured you guys have been into XJ's alot longer than I have and may have already tried a few different things with wheels.

Thanks for the replies soo far guys.

GM's W bodies (Grand Prix, Impala, Regal, Monte Carlo) use 5x114.3 as well.

I'm loving this thread subject because I'm wondering the same thing as well. If I may, I'd would like to add that pics would be a wonderful thing as well along with Backspace and size of wheels and tires to go along with it.

As far as the GM wheels fitting with the 5X115 bolt pattern, yes they will fit. It's only a small fraction difference in the size BUT it IS a different size. You put extra stress on the studs basically bending them slightly when you install the lug nuts and I don't think you want any added stress to the wheels or studs than already is given in an offroad vehicle. If 5X114.3 and 5X115 were the same size, they wouldn't be listed as 2 different sizes and applied to different applications. They would share one size listing. I've done it before, but was never comfortable with having that much twist on the studs for my liking. You never know when they could just snap off. ESPECIALLY 4 wheeling.
