JK Take offs??

Anybody try JK take off tires and rims on a Libby yet?

I have found some spacer/converters to go from 5on4.5 to 5on5 that are 1" thick.
My thinking is the 255/75/17 (7.5x32) narrow for a 32 hopefully less rolling resistance, but added width of the spacers lends to stability. Take offs are plentiful around here....

So think they will fit with 2.5" lift??

You would have to use adaptors as the JK has a 5 on 5 and the KJ has a 5 on 4.5. But hey I don't see why the 17" JK rims wouldn't work otherwise.

But with that wheel then the spacer it would set the wheels/tires way out unless they changed the back spacing a lot on them, check to see what the back spacing is first then add in the spacer, seems like a lot of work just to run them when there are so many other better choices

They appear to have a great deal of back spacing....Should not be much diff from those running TJ rubi rims and spacers....

TJ Rubi rims are what I run but I don't use spacers.

Also 32's are a little big for a 2-1/2" lift but with some minor trimming you should be ok.

Just did a little searching....JK 17" wheels are 6" backspacing....May actually want to go with 1.25" spacer/adapter....

you can not run Moabs/Rubicon wheels and spacers sits the wheel out way too far, the heighth of the tire will give you fits trying to cut enough away but could be done I suppose , but I think you are opening a can of worms trying to make them fit right

But prove me wrong :twisted:

it is your money :lol:
