The lug pattern is different. the JK has a 5 on 5 bolt pattern. the 96 has a 5 on 4.5.
I love the claws. I've had them before. and I have a set of 35's that I'm putting on mine tonight. just make sure to keep the rotated.

Joker, have you tried them in sand? How do they perform?

Also, do you think there's much difference between 33's and 35's? I'm torn between 33 claws and 35 claws

I've got more mud than sand here, but, I had my old CJ on sand dunes and they worked like sand paddles. did really well. and, I had 33's on my JK, and regretted it until I ordered my 35's.

The Baja MTZ is pretty awesome on-road and off. I really like mine. As far as the bolt pattern goes, I am pretty sure they are different from the TJ to the JK.

Yeah, MTZ's are great too. that's what I'm taking off to put on my 35's.
they were 33's. they had 45,000 miles on them and STILL had half the tread on them!
