Default JK Rubicon wheel fitment...

I've read through a number of threads, and I think this will work, but want to make sure...

I want to get some JK Rubicon wheels (bolt pattern 5 x 5.0 with a center bore of 71.5mm). Of course, my 2004 Ranger has 5 x 4.5 with a center bore of 70.6mm.

Other than needing to run 4.5-5.0 adapters, I should be fine, right? Any other issues I need to worry about (I already did the t-bar crank, so the 32" tires should clear no problem).

I did the same basic thing with my prior TJ (which the Ranger replaced), and I think the two tone grey wheels would go great with the Dark Shadow Metallic. Plus, dealer take offs+tires are pretty cheap here in DFW (paid $900 for the set I put on the TJ).

Fit will be fine. I have a set of adapters already, just waiting for a decent deal on A set of wheels and tires

Thanks- I figured it should work, but when I couldn't find a single pic of a Ranger sporting JK Rubicon wheels, I began to doubt (of course, it could just be that no one else likes that look :^)!

Post pictures when you are done. I'm curious to see what it looks like.

Everyone wants mad dish. The rubicon wheels don't have that look. I think they look great!

I'll post pics once the wheels are on. Right now, I'm still wrestling with fitting Go Rhino bed bars- which wouldn't be all that hard except I'm trying to retain my tonneau cover as well (have to raise the bars a bit to clear the cover rails, and create reinforced holes in the cover to allow the bars to go through).

Once the holiday weekend is over though, I'll be searching for the Rubi wheels (son wants to look for the all black wheels- I'm still partial to the two tone grey look). I'm planning on using these adapters... http://www.4wheelparts.com/Wheels/Cr..._pn=CRORT32001
