Can I swap wheels with my '97 TJ?
So it goes like this:
'08 stock JKU needs tires, but waiting on lift (no sense in buying 31's and needing 33's the following week).
Long trip planned, *may* not get lift and tires done in time.
'97 stock TJ in driveway, has wheels and tires (pretty sure 31's as well), and isn't getting much drive-time since the JK.
Can I swap wheels and tires with the TJ? I know the TPMS will complain, of course, but other than that? Same bolt pattern? Something I'm missing?
TIA

Bolt pattern is not the same. '07 and newer use a 5x5 pattern and all the earlier Jeeps use a 5x4.5 pattern. You can buy adapters, but I would suggest just waiting a little bit for your new items to get in.
