Title: interchangable rims
Post by: XJEric on July 23, 2006, 10:29:14 AM

I have some 35" tires I want to use on my jeep but they are for a 16" rim.   What can I use that will fit the jeep axles and be cheap?  I heard ford 5 bolt rims will work?

Thanks

Eric

You might start with what model of jeep you drive and we may be able to give you more information.  How wide of 35 in tire do you have?  How much lift do you have?  etc......

As long as its 5 on 4.5 it will work... though it may be hard to find a 16" rim in that configuration for cheap...

look for some rubicon rim's there 5 on 4.5 and 16 inch but they aren't cheap
and they might  have too much back spacing
try modren or national for some aftermarket rim's

Didn't 90's ZJ's come with 16" rims and aren't they the same bolt patern as XJ's?
