Wheel conversion

[Thejawn]

I have a 2001 TJ Sahara

I have 15” rims and just bought 17” stock rubicon gladiator rims and tires.

I know I need an adapter but if someone could link me to the right one I would appreciate it.

Also my buddy told me these would fit no problem. But will they? Do I need to do any other modifications like fender swap?

Any guidance before the procedure this weekend would be appreciated. Thank you.

Thread 'Gladiator wheels on TJ'

Jan 7, 2021

Just wanted to share for anyone considering this. I’ve been eye-ing these wheels ever since the gladiator was released (funny enough, I’m not a huge fan of the gladiator, though).

The swap was pretty straight forward. I will say gladiator/JT lug nuts are NOT the same thread pitch. The look is definitely an upgrade, IMO. The 17” rims seem to add more stability. Feels like, at least. Grateful for the endless resource this forum is. Cheers!
