You can, it'll just be more of a hassle to worry about 40 lugs compared to a stock 20
Also getting the spacer will push them out further so you'll have more concern with rubbing if you're not lifted

What do you mean worry about 40 lungs compared to stock 20? I don't mind a wider look as I will be lifting when i finish gathering the money. Can you wheel ok with spacers?

You can but why?
If you are buying wheels anyways just buy ones that fit correctly
You'll have at least 175-200 just for good quality spacers plus the wheels

7 inch wide wheels with 4 inches of backspacing sits the wheel out to the edge of the flare and works GREAT
plus NO SPACERS

There Wrangler rims were free so that is why I was trying to use them. I could just sell them and get a set that work. That would make life easier.

You could probably make a profit doing that as well
Sell those and get MOABs for cheap

 

[ptulli]

which are the MOAB ones?

 

[jeeplib05]

They're for the older Wranglers which had the 5x4.5 bolt pattern
They look more convex than the normal JK wheels
Just search MOAB wheels into google and you'll see what they look like

 

[ptulli]

Oh those ones, yeah good call! I like those ones. Thanks, the search begins.

If you need a set of the adapters to be able to use the newer rims on the liberty, send me a pm.

Newer Wranglers ( the JKs ) had a very similar wheel called a MOAB as well

..with a 5x5 bolt pattern
As I said, the older Wranglers that had 5x4.5 is what we have to use

I understand what you said, but you also wrote Just search MOAB wheels into google and you'll see what they look like
Now with that being said , someone who may not know Jeeps very well may just type in MOAB wheels and they would come up with ones for a JK.

I know I am continually looking for 03-06 Moabs and when looking on Craigslist etc always end up with some JK Moabs instead of TJ Moabs, since even some of those sellers don't even know what they have.
For someone new to Jeeps , the letters TJ, JK, KJ, KK, etc all get confusing plus what years. So I always try and word things a couple of different ways so that a newbie pretty much has a clear idea what to look for or what to do.
Thank you for your time. Rev. Mudd now has to get his Sunday sermon finished , no this wasn't it. :icon_razz::icon_razz:

Or get these....
MR1X Silver | Mamba Offroad Wheels

They come in black and silver, correct bolt pattern, I think. They show them on an XJ and I think a few people here have gotten them.

got this from tirerack, says no go

Mamba MR1X Black Painted

They are looking at it as an 8 inch wide wheel which will not work well on a unlifted KJ/KK
Lifted they will work
I have one ( silver one ) sitting here waiting for a new owner

 

[ptulli]

i found a set off an 05 Rubi, 4.5"x 5 r 16 bolt pattern, that is correct right?

They will fit if they are the same specs as below photo

Best i can tell they are exactly the same as real MOABs to 1 mm of offset.

The condition is that it requires a real lift.

03-06 will fit yes
