Hi
Part of the delight of living in the UK, apart from the endless sunshine and never ending blue skies, is that Jeep in its wisdom decided that importing Rubicons would be a bad idea, therefore the chance of finding a set to put on my KJ are fairly slim to say the least, so from other posts i understand that there are some other jeep wheels that fit. Does anyone else run any other jeep wheels and if so what do they look like on the KJ?

Thanks in anticipation of the photo's

Mamba wheels make the MR1 which look the same as Moabs - and can run Jeep center caps.

A downside would be the Mamba's are cast (weaker) whereas the Moabs are forged (stronger).

was more after seeing what other OE wheels people are running on their KJs. In Britain i've got no chance of finding a set of moabs but there are hundreds of old grand cherokees slowly returning to nature!

The bolt pattern for the Liberty is 5x4.5in or 5x114.3mm for you. The older Grand Cherokees have the 5x114.3mm. The years you would need to look for are 1992 to 1998. I would aim for a 1998 Grand Cherokee.

I was in the UK for vacation March 3 to March 12. I stayed in Wales and saw a few Liberties. Not that many though.

I put the wheels of a 2001 Jeep Cherokee Country (box shape) on. Look good I think.

Not bad looking, kinda reminds me of the AEV Pintler rims.
