My new to me 2005 TJ has what I think are JL wheels. I think. Part number is 04755591AA and they say MOPAR on them. Can anyone confirm they are JL wheels? Also attached is what is on the wheel adapters which are 1 1/4 inch thick. Can someone decipher what the measurements/codes are on the adaptor? The nut holding on the adaptors is a 3/4-inch nut. Reading on forum threads I think these adapters are for the TJ and JK size studs of 1/2-20, not the stud size of the JL wheels of M14-1.5. I also think the lug contact area is a bit sketchy on the wheels, as in too much bite up the conical area, another reason I think the adaptors might be for TJ/JL size studs. Tires are brand new (previous owner) at 245/75R17. Offset looks good with no rubbing anywhere and they look good to me overall and the jeep rides great and is a good height for me to get in and out of so I am keeping the wheels/tires. I just want it to be correct and safe. I would not be averse to getting new adaptors, but as a minimum I need to track down better lug nuts. All this is new to me, but this is why I got an old Wrangler, lot of things to mess around with. Thanks!

Thanks, I failed finding them searching Amazon. At the link it says 1/2 - 20 thread pitch. So, these adapters give TJ/JK studs. I either need to find adaptors that convert to JL studs or find lug nuts that fit JL wheels on TJ/JK studs. Doing the math JL studs are 1.3 mm larger diameter than TJ/JK studs. Anyone think that matters if I can get the right lug nuts?
