LOST JEEPS :: View topic - Sorry another basic question on Rubicon wheels for KJ

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....

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
