Looking For 5 On 5-1/2 X 16 Or 17 Wheels...best Choices?

[jamespwsullivan]

I'm getting ready to swap out both axles in my 87 MJ and I want to go to a 5" on 5-1/2" bolt circle, probably 17" bout would consider 16"

I want to have a little more choice in for the tires and I want some more room in the center hub area for the Super Winch lockouts on the front.

 

I know I could buy new wheels but I would rather find some at the Pick a Part if I can.  What do you know of that meets the criteria above and is also aluminum?

 

Thanks

I take it you changed the from the stock 4.5 on 5 wheel pattern with new shafts or wheel adapters?

That's correct.  i looked at the Rubicon 17" wheels with 4.5 on 5 but the centers don't look to be big enough to manage the lockouts.  In the mean time I decided to go with new axles.  nothing purchased yet but 5.5 on 5 seems like a choice that would give me some other options on wheels.
