Are wheels off a JK interchangeable with wheels on a JL?

Most ofem are, but-
You have to use the proper LUGNUTS AND BE VERY CAREFUL DURING INSTALLATION-

DON'T USE AN AIR GUN-- doit by hand in 5-star pattern and TORQUE--usually will have to use SPLINE LUGNUTS !

You're going from a 12mm(JK) stud to a 14mm(JL) stud, doesn't leave much stud room

Good luck

I can't swear to that one--there have been a number of new JL owners that used JK wheels without troubles, but

I haven't been able to try mine yet--

My JL is still in the FCA FANTASY LAND-

You'll GET SOME ANSWERS SHORTLY, I'm SURE

Whatever

Are hub bore sizes the same for hub centric wheels?
Not sure but can verify fitment of JK wheels. I think someone said in another thread the OE stock JL are 71.54. I have 71.6 hub wheels (black rhino) that were originally released for the JK so you should be good. A few forum members are also running OE JK wheels (I think one guy swapped his wheel out for JK renegade wheels at the dealership upon delivery).

Works great, put JK Recon wheels on the wife's Punk'n. Looks much better with the darker wheels.
