Those are the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT wheels. They can bolt up but you will need spacers to make them work. If I feel up to it, I can try one of them on my '87. Can't promise anything.

Re: Wheels will these bolt up

I tried my '09 Jeep SRT8 wheels on my '82 to see how they would look a couple years ago. I couldn't even bolt up the rears. I needed like a 2" spacer for the rear. Here are some pics.

Re: Wheels will these bolt up

Just got finished trying these out so here is what I found out. The front you will need an inch spacer to work. The rear will need at least an inch spacer to clear the tire from the inside wheel well. An inch and a half or even a two inch would be better so the tire can be closer to the outside. Here are pics of the wheels on my '87. Keep in mind that the wheels are 10" wide and tires are 295/45/20s. Sorry, couldn't lower the front body down. Ran out of jacks and jackstands. At least you'll get the idea.

Re: Wheels will these bolt up

Here's a pic of how much more was needed for the wheels to sit on the drum and rotor. The rear tires were already hitting the inside wheel well. The front was hitting on the hub.

Don't know about safe but I know people use them on their cars and trucks. Maybe someone with more knowledge about these can chime in.

Re: Wheels will these bolt up



I entered in 'wheel offset conversion' & selected one of the first five listings to find this in just a few seconds:

A 9" wheel w/+37 offset = 6.45" back spacing. For perspective, a 15x8" truck ralley w/4" back spacing = -12mm offset.

Scroll down the page a little.....

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: Wheels will these bolt up

I would find different wheels not a fan of running spacers seen a few fail its never pretty when it happens.

Re: Wheels will these bolt up

There's a difference between "spacers" & billet "adapters" as far as safety. A billet adapter would be needed in this case & would work.

Around $50+ each depending on thickness/complexity.
