5x5

If you are trying to put JK wheels on a TJ, Spidertrax sells the adapters.

No, no, no... I have a JK, and a set of rims that were on my Eclipse... I was thinkin if they'll bolt up, some mud tires and some black powdercoat on top of the chrome would look freakin sweet on my black JK... Although I'm not against chrome myself, especially against a black vehicle...

If you are going to powder coat on your rims....what are you going to use for an oven to bake the finish?

With one rack in a standard size 30" range/oven you should be able to do them one at a time. In your garage/workshop of course and with an old oven you will not use for food purposes anymore.

Nope. Eclipse has a 5x4.5" just like pre-JK's, 94+ Mustangs, and all Ford Rangers. Unless you have the wheels like my ex did, with two sets of lug holes.

We have a lot of rental property that we buy second hand appliances for and there are a few used appliance stores locally that have yards full of old appliances they recycle parts from. They always have ranges that all the burners don't work on that they would sell cheap. These make perfect candidates since you need no burners just the oven part working. Look under appliances used in the yellow pages and you should be able to pick one of these up anytime for cheap.

Ya, they've got two sets of lug holes, but one second thought I don't think they'd work anyway, since the offset would be different... I was havin a blonde moment... (note to self, quit dying hair....) lol...
