Will the wheels bolt onto your WJ? Yes

Will the tires fit without rubbing? Not likely

Hello, just my 2 cents, I have a 2002 limited german spec and my summer tires are 255/55R18's and i have no rubbing at all. I have seen from others that this is what you need for rubber if you are running stock suspension. It works out to the same 29 inch tire. However, I got the rims with the jeep and the manufacturer is no longer in business (Deszent, i think) so I dont know if backspacing is the same as the JK ones you are looking at.

That is what I gave for 5 JK wheels that were in great condition in the first picture


I found 5 of second pic for $250 OBO. I am considering them...:rolleyes:

Daily driver for 2 years now with 255/65r17's and there is a slight rub full lock at medium flex. Narrower might be better but I do like the way my current size looks on it - definitely meatier than the factory 16's and what was on it when I got it.

You know which one is mine.

There are 17" and 18" versions of the JK wheels. I think the Saharas get the 18" wheels.

If I get those new ones I can hook you up with my current JK 17's.

Yes, the JK Wranglers have 16's, 17's, and 18's. Since mine is just 2wd, I run the 18's :(. With my 18's and 255/55's, I rub at lock, usually when pulling into tight parking spaces. Just seems to rub the wheel well liner and not any fender or bumper. I've had them on for almost a year and the rubbing is not a big deal at all. The 255's do like very nice, both in the front and back. Gives the front an agressive look.

JK = 2007 and newer = 5" on 5"
TJ = 1997 - 2006 = 5 on 4.5"
