Short answer
NO
reason why
bolt pattern is different
KJ/KKs are 4.5
JKs are 5 inch
plus you'd need a lift etc

Any suggestions as to??????:shrug::shrug:
You can run TJ Rubicon Moabs but will need to lift it
as is the case with most any aftermarket wheel basically
so don't understand the question of "any suggestions"

So even if he wanted to run stock sized tires, with TJ Wrangler Rubicon Moabs... he'd still need a lift?

BTW: The wheels pictured in that JK Wrangler above are not Moabs.

... and you have an excellent taste in color choice. ;)

More than likely yes he'd need to lift since most tires that will fit on a Moab need a lift. Some have installed 245-70s for example on them but thats way too small of a tire for an 8 inch wheel

So you just want different wheels then? Whatever you get will have to be either stock or near stock size , look through various posts to see what others have
I would never go to 18s and up and run rubber band tires
