Wrangler lug pattern..

[2001ExpSport]

Anybody know the lug pattern on a 90 Wrangler? I know it's 5 on something. Anyone know off hand if it is 5 on 4.5?

 

[mattadams]

I'll tell you 85% its 5 bolt 4.5"... because I know people have been able to swap our wheels with jeep wheels, etc. but not sure if they changed it any point. As far as I know most of the jeeps have always been 5 bolt 4.5"... but I'm no expert, LOL.

What are if any other lug patterns for the Explorer?

I want to know because Explorer Wheels are hard to come by! (Here in Saudi) If not expensive. Question can I use another Vehicles Rims on my Explorer?

So far Explorers have always been 5 on 4.5

CBougg: a freind asked is the bolt patern on a 90 Wrangler is 5 on 4.5?
BootsntheJeep: yup
CBougg: ok thanks!
BootsntheJeep: everything besides CJs is 5 on 4.5. cjs are 5 on 5.5
CBougg: ahh ok
BootsntheJeep: wranglers, cherokees, grand cherokees, all 5 on 4.5. could be different backspacings between them, that's the catch
CBougg: ok thanks

as just mentioned yes they are 4.5 I test fit a jeep today with my 33's, i hate to say this but the little xj didn't look half bad.

The Rangers, Mustangs and Thunderbirds are 5x4.5 just like the Explorer also.

 

[JYoung]

Not the older 5.0 mustangs(before 93)they had 4 lug wheels.

 

[RTStork]

Yeah, I meant the 94 and up Mustangs.

Thanks a lot guys. Now my fiance's sis won't have to buy new tires. She lives 900 miles away so that's why I was asking, I wasn't able to test fit them.

so would explorer rims fit a cherokee then?

 

[RTStork]

I just checked, and, Yes, the cherokee has a 5x4.5" lug pattern also.

backspacing

Be careful , although the bolt pattern is the same between the Explorer and the Jeeps the back spacing is almost an inch more. The explorer rims Ive looked at are around 4 1/2 back spacing, and the Jeeps are in the 5.25- 5.75 area. So straight swaps between the two may cause some problems.

 

[RTStork]

Steve, thats a good tip on the backspace.

Good call! The way I see it is if they won't fit she can at least have the tires and sell the rims. She is a college girl so very low in the $ area.
