Will 17x7" 44.45mm offset JK rims fit a WJ

[cvbbvc]

anyone had experience doing this? these are the 17x7" rims (NOT 17x7.5"), 44.45mm offset, the WJ is 2002 stock limited.  THANKS

yep rims should work.  bolt pattern is the same.  i believe WJ wheels were around 50mm of backspacing, so these should stick out a bit.

 JK take offs on a WJ?  cool!

I looked into this  a 32" might have some clearance issues with a stock suspension.  BB would be needed, or a bigger lift for  a wheelable WJ

Some images on WJ's on JK wheels. Click the links and usually will go to a site and show any mods they have done.

thanks guys for all the help.. saved me some headache. I guess the next question is what would be the smallest tire i can run on that rim so i can use the rims before i get around to lifting it?? Cheers

265/65R17 works out to be 30.6" tall.   Available in a toyo OCAT.  Should fit.
