Will tires and wheels from a 2011 JK Rubicon fit on a 2008 KK?

Other then spacers, what is needed?

I don't think you can do it on stock suspension.
I know at least one member has done the JK wheels on their KK.

Have to use spacers which most do not like to use
Buy the time you spend 200 on spacers you could buy the correct wheels
Buy Moabs from earlier year Wranglers, same bolt pattern
And yes must be lifted

I agree, unless you can get the rims and tires for free, spacers cost money, and so does lifting the Jeep.
I've settled on just painting the rims for a different look.

I think their 32" tires as well, regear would be necessary.

Thanks for the help, the tires and wheels are takeoffs from my JK that is now running 35", so there would be no cost other then spacers and sounds like a lift.

I'm thinking a KK has a 4.5" bolt pattern same as the KJ and the JK has a 5.00" bolt pattern. JK wheels won't fit a TJ without an adapter so you would have to have the same for the KK along with a lift to get the clearance.

They make a spacer / adapter to fit the wheels

So wheels and tires are free
so all you have to do is install a 4 inch lift, buy some Spidertrax spacers and regear to 4.56s
Done!!!!! :wink:
