Thinking about putting some 2010 stock wrangler rims on my xj but they are 5 on 5 instead of 5 on 4.5 so i would have to get wheel adapters should i do it?

As long as they are good quality, should be fine. Do no got anything more than 1.5" though.

I do not like them.

Another thing you must check, about as much as your suppose to change your oil.

Also, another part to potentially break.

I'm going to run them with my 18" saharas and 35" nitto muds. I see them the same way as i see spacers.

I see no problem with them if they are torqued right also a touch of locktite wouldn't hurt.
