Can't use the 17" Wrangler wheels without spacers since you must use spacers to change the bolt pattern since the JK wheels are 5 on 5 bolt pattern and your KJ is not.

damn i was getting all 5 for 100 $, and i need some backspace to fit 33s getting rid of the wheels spacers i already have... :(

They are cheap here since no one wants them.
33s :shrug:

Lmao i figured tom! in that case ill keep the wheel spacers for now cause im headed into other things right now...like making a custom dana30 ifs, just like jba´s but 1500 is a lot of money...and gaining a little more height on front, tom if you dont mind me asking, can u explain how to shave my cv´s? i have to do it down here..shipping has become incredibly costly so... yeahh

as always, thanks tom!!
