JEEP wheels on a Syncro?

[buspor63]

I saw this on another site. Are the two bolt circles the same or close enough? When it comes to wheels, i'm not sure close enough is safe enough.

hey, check the flaird ghia in the backgrond !

I've searched ebay tons for 5x112 and I've never seen a Jeep wheel show up, some late model Camero wheels (hmmm ) but never Jeep yet.

Someone is using an adapter here... The closest you will find in american cars is Ford... they come out to roughly 5x114 . That is "close enough" but usually the ford wheels will have too much offset, and will stick way too far out to look or handle good.

Most newer model Jeeps like the Cherokee, Wrangler, etc are 5 on 4.5 circle. Jeeps will have a little less offset than Fords usually.

If they are really that close, that'll be good as I've got some wheels/tires I'd love to put on my Thing once I convert to late model disk brakes.
