Though I think its an older JK. You might want to search that thread and see if there are any later postings with 2012 models either using 15" rims or the specific rims you're looking at... and that member if they had to make any changes etc...

Hope that helps.
Thank you, I did see that thread and posted my question there as well. The only thing I'm able to find is that they worked with older models, and I'm reading so much about the 2012's being different that it would be so great and a peace of mind having someone confirm a "for sure" answer. I'll keep searching. Thank you for your time!

Have about 700 miles on my 12, just started the long road of mods. So far have installed Currie Ent. Suspension. Let the fun begin.

Yep, mine too. I just turned 2200 and things have been recently changing for the better. Def the best Jeep I've ever owned (although I do miss my favorite XJ from time to time. . .)

I have 4 mastiffs at the moment. Maia and her 2 pups. She's 170 lbs at 4 years and her pups are just about 7 weeks and 14lbs each. My new girl I just picked up is Serra and she is almost 40lbs and only 13 weeks old. We re expecting her to reach 250lbs+. They all get to ride in the JK. Like I said I've already put 40,000 hard kms on it so it doesn't smell new anymore. Plus, I just found out I bent my driveshaft and cross member so she's not new anymore

Holy Mackerel! I've never even seen a 250 lb. dog! I would love to see the looks you get from other drivers with your Mastiffs in the JK.

and if they're trained not to leave the Jeep unless on command... you could take the top and doors off and know that no one will mess with the Jeep while you're in the store... LOL

Here is my 12 Rubi. I traded our 11 Sahara for it last week. Stayed with the same color and options. The soft top, wheels, and tires are from the 11. The Teraflex Rock sliders were added yesterday and the TF 2.5 kit with Bilsteins is going on Friday.
