81Chero Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 Traded up for a '96 2dr, 2wd, 5spd 4cyl that I want to make into MY version of Racejeep. It will be lowered some (not in the weeds though) so, I'd like to see pics of the wider wheels with a shallow backspacing to utilize the wheel flares. I'm really NOT into the 30" rubber band look at all, just a nice clean star maybe, that will just bolt on. 18" might be the limit. I have a couple sets of Chrysler Conquest rims and wanted to use the rear 8" ones all round. But, the center hub hole is just a tad too small. I wish it was LUG-centric instead of HUB-centric, then I can just bore it out by hand. But don't want to ruin a set of kinda rare wheels. SO, if you guys KNOW what other Jeep models (even Dodge) that are a bolt on fit with out hubs, Post them up. And please, keep it to a mildly lowered, 2wd mindset.

Pete M Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I thought I read somewhere that dodge charger rims worked. also, I altered your tittle to better explain what you're looking for. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellaheep Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Does your '96 front axle use the unit bearing/stub shaft or the spindle? That in its self determines what wheels you can use as the spindle style hub requires a wheel and center cap that will accept the protruding hub and dust cover. Some OEM wheel styles are indeed hub centric while others are lug centric. The larger hub center of the unit bearing will limit some wheel choices so just being 5 on 4.5 lug pattern isn't always a safe bet. With that said, Dodge Charger/Challenger/Magnum/300wheels have all been shown on an XJ/MJ before, but not with the spindle style 2wd front hub. Ford uses this lug pattern very commonly across their models - the Ranger/Bronco wheels used pretty frequently. Here are 18x7 Charger/Magnum wheels which only work with the unit bearing hub: Mustang wheels: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
81Chero Posted November 17, 2015 Author Share Posted November 17, 2015 I believe I have the unit bearing/stub. Purchased a set of slotted/drilled rotors/pads AND bearing hubs. Went to swap them out, since i just assumed that they were poop (they weren't) and bolted them back on. So, it looks like the Dodge cars will work. (Those on your black jeep look great!) if that's yours that is. The 18's really fill the wheelwell nicely. Thanks. My google searches start with a few then drift off into random celebrities or wine bottles etc.. E Oh, Thanks Pete. Didn't even recognize it.
