| Post subject: | 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.... |
