Best way to use JK rims and tire on a YJ??
I have a brand new set of 2013 sport JK rims taken off and sitting on the shelf. I just got a 95 YJ from a guy at work thay I've been trying to buy from him for years.
What is the best way to utilize my 16 inch brand new tires most no one wants on the JK onto a stock YJ?
Stock YJ rims were 15 inch rims with a 27 inch tire. The stock JK are 16 inch with 29 inch tires.
Should I use convering 4.5 to 5 spacers and the stock 5 on 5 JK wheels or maybe Craigslist 4.5 x 5 pattern TJ wheels. I believe they are 16 inch 4.5 patterns. Something else?

You can get adapters from SpyderTrax that will allow you to run 5x5 wheels on the YJ (5x4.5) which will run you around $200.00
A new set of steel wheels will run you $50 - $60 a piece plus mount and balance.
Personally I would go with a new set of wheels with proper backspacing so that if you wanted to move to a larger tire in the future you would already be a step ahead.
