Default New JK

I'm in the process of purchasing a new Unlimited Sahara. While working the deal, the dealership is also going to put on the 3" Full Traction Premium Lift with the M-Force Shocks along with new rims and tires. I want the MT Classic II rims in 18x10 but I'm not sure what the bolt pattern is or the part number. Can anyone help...the new jeep is not listed on their website. I will be putting Baja ATZ radial LT325/60-18 around them. Thanks for all your help from a newbie to the forum and the Jeep lifestyle!
I'm pretty sure I need the 4.5 backspacing?

I wouldn't trust any dealership to do this work for me. I do all my own work except swapping housing gears.

I'd have to agree with this. If you can, I would highly recommend you doing the install yourself or find a Jeep club in your neck of the woods to help you out. Hell, if you were here in SoCal, I would help you install it for FREE. The experience you would gain is invaluable.

I appreciate the concern...I am by no means a mechanic so I have to trust the dealership. I have seen other vehicles that they have lifted and put tires on, so I think I'm safe but it's only from appearance. I wish I were more mechanically inclined. Thanks for the help.

Here is the response from MT:

We don't make a wheel for the 07 wrangler the bolt pattern is 5 on 5. We
don't make it.

Thanks,

They may have used a wheel spacer kit that changed the size of the bolt patern.
