Hi I am sorry for this question as I know its been around the block so many times... I just wonder if someone could confirm for me.

I have a chance to get a set of rubicon wheels for my KJ. The information is below. I have a 2003 Renegade with a 2 inch lift. I wonder if 1) the bold pattern is fine. If not spacers work? 2) Do you think I would expect a lot of rubbing?

tires are bf goodrich mud-terrain t/a
(255x75R17)

5x4.5" bolt pattern

Factory OEM years used
2007 - 2009

Appreciate any and all feedback....

the 5x4.5 is the right bolt pattern but those tires are too big for just a 2" lift. You will have rubbing

Rubicon wheels in a the 4.5 bolt pattern never came in a 17 inch wheel
something in your information is incorrect

correct Rubicon wheels are up to 2006
2007-on up are 5 inch bolt pattern which you would need adapters to use
also as stated unless lifted more than two inches forget it

Thanks for you comments. With the lift I have it sounds like maybe not the path to take.

2 inch lift I think not
or you don't have much room
plus the regear issue with a 32 inch tall tire

Not much room for sure! I am going to add 1/2 inch more bump stop in the rear 2 1/2 hockey pucks (rubbed at full stuff)

And yes a re gear is worth the cost!
