Default Moto metal 18x9 MO957 8x6.5 -12mm Wheels

Just a quick question I have a 2013 Jk want to know if these wheels will fit. I am going to run 30/65/18 falken wildpeak AT tires. I have a 2.5 inch lift already installed. Just not saavy on the backspacing. Any help would be appreciated.

You'd need to also buy wheel adapters to fit those 8 lug wheels on your 5 lug jeep.

Also the JK is meant for a 5X5 bolt pattern

Where would I find that? and is this a good idea or just plain bad business?

Since it's on ebay and looks like seller is a rim and tire place email them and tell them you want that same rim and tire combo but with the proper lug pattern.

Ebay or just google "8 lug to 5 lug wheel adapters" and I'm sure something will pop up. Wheel spacers and adapters are as safe as the guy behind the wrench ensuring they are torqued properly. If the deal was a screaming deal- I would do it. But you'll have at least $200 into wheel adapters, so figure that into your cost.

This is probably the better solution. The manufacturer probably does have it, it's just ar matter of asking the ebay company to make it available to you.
