What kind of lift?
I would like to know what kind of lift/size do you have??
did mine last weekend with 1.25" spidertrax adapters. back spacing is about .5" more than stock wheel which brings the tires right out to the edge, maybe a 1/4" past the stock fenders. i love the new 2013 wheels. they dont work if your xj is green, or blue, or a weird color that doesn't carry the finish in the wheels.

Picked up a set of 06+ rubicon rims yesterday with 255/75r17's. Rugged Ridge adapters will be here tomorrow. Will post follow up pics.

HEADS UP! I did the same thing on my '00 and no one had told me the rear studs would be too short. I had to get new studs for the rear as the spacers I had only let the lug nuts grab 2 teeth. Not the end of the world but definitely not just a clean wheel swap. I've got the part number for the stud somewhere, lemme know if you need it.

I think that's right, it was the same as the front if I recall so that makes sense. They were RR 1.25" and the studs still stuck out from the drum past the spacer a little bit. Wasn't a problem with that wheel though because they have open areas between the lugs.

I had no issues with the spacers, the lugnuts had just as much thread engagement as it did with the factory wheel on it. I was sure to check and double check.
That being said, they're on. I used Rugged Ridge Adapters 15201.11 They fit and worked perfectly.
Jeep has a Rubicon Express 3.5 Superflex lift.

I was at their show and shine this summer and it was there. I had to look at it a few times and the steering and stock wheels when it finally made sense.

Is this lifted? I just bought the same wheels and tires and ordered adapters. I plan on ordering a 3.5 rubicon express lift in 2 weeks. I was wondering if the wheels would fit with adapters, before I lift it, if I remove the flares? It's not my daily but I will be driving it 45 min to a buddies house to lift it. Thanks!
