JK Wrangler wheels on an XJ?

Lots and lots of factory alloys with stock tyres from JK Wranglers on online classifieds for sale near where I live, wondering if the stud pattern is the same as an XJ, and will they fit ok? Anyone done this?

XJs are 5 on 4.5. JKs are 5 on 5.

I run the spydertrax spacer adapters because they are hub centric and anodized aluminum.

You can do the WJ knuckle swap on the front and run spacers in the rear. The swap is expensive.

The TJ & LJ Rubi's came with Moab's in the 5x4.5 bolt pattern. If you really like those wheels thats the route I'd go.

If you buy them don't get the cheapo ones from ebay they will fail over time.
