Bolt pattern...TJs are 5 on 4.5...dunno what KJs are but thatd be my first thought EDIT: what are the KJ bolt patterns anyhow? Are they also 5 on 4.5? |

i've seen Freedom Edition wheels on a TJ before, and the Stock Steelies on a TJ before, but not sure on backspacing or hub sizes. I'd assume they'd fit without issues. |

I have rear drums on the TJ The flange around the outer part of the axle was to big and the rim would not go over it it was very very close but I was not about to force in and bend the rim |

I figure the 16" rims and the 17" rims from a KJ would work fine. Most TJs with drums had 15" rims to begin with so it must be a back spacing thing. The pattern is the same. Thats why I asked, there must have been some other clearance issue. |

Bolt patterns are the same. The only issue you would run into is if the diameter inside the KJ wheel is smaller due to smaller rear brakes (drums or rotors and calipers). Then they would not fit over the ldrums of a TJ. The TJs D44 and D35 will all fit the same, they are the same lug pattern. I even saw someone running around with KJ wheels on a TJ. 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern is the same on both. Any issues would be aftermarket modification of the rear brakes. |
