2007-2018 Jeep Wrangler JK Wheel, Tire and Suspension Fitment Guide

Regardless of where you think Jeep has gone in the past 15 or so years, nobody can deny that its pull in the market has gone up drastically since the release of the Wrangler JK trim for the 2007 model year. This Wrangler helped to usher in a new era for the brand, giving the Wrangler some SUV-inspired flourishes that made it accessible for new audiences while still retaining the same off-roading prowess that we as enthusiasts love. For that reason, it's still one of the most fascinating eras in the business.

If you've got a Wrangler JK that you're looking to build for your off-road adventures, we're here to help you get it done right. Come with us today as we show you our recommended fitments whether you have stock suspension, a leveling kit, or a lift kit on your Jeep - with the right sizes on your model, you should have no trouble conquering the back roads.

Jeep Wrangler JK Wheel Bolt Pattern & Recommended Fitment Specs

First things first, we'll show you the Wrangler JK's bolt pattern so you know the wheels you're getting are compatible with your model. The Wrangler JK was built with a bolt pattern of 5x5 inches (5x127mm), so keep that in mind on your search.

We would also recommend, with rare exceptions, to stick with 17x9 wheels for your Wrangler JK build. This serves as a good base to add bigger tires to the mix - you're good with 33's and 35's on most stock and leveled setups with this wheel size, and if you want to go with 37's on higher lifts, that is certainly an option too.
