Does anyone know what the bolt pattern for a Jeep Wrangler rim size is. All I know right know is it's a 15" rim .
Tryin to find out if the wheels will fit my truck, cause I found a deal on some 32"s.

They'll fit generally. I have Mickey Thompson Jeep wheels on my truck.
Most aftermarket wheels are lower backspacing, pushing your tires out a bit, but most of the time it's not a problem.
Stock Jeep wheels though are 5 to 5.5" backspacing and will suck your wheels IN towards the frame. Avoid those unless you've gone to wider axles somehow.
As I remember it, the Jeeps have bigger hubs than the Rangers. So, Jeep wheels will fit a Ranger, but not the other way around (talking stock here). If I've got that backwards, someone will chime in and correct it.

Okay fine then. I am saying what I said because of a post on here some time ago about trying to put a Ranger spare on a Jeep or vice versa and the wheels not fitting over the hub. I'm probably remembering it either completely wrong or backwards, lol.
Most aftermarket wheels are not "hub-centric", so they often fit almost any hub size that supports the bolt pattern of the wheel.

So, we have some evidence about this.
1. Stock Wrangler wheels may not fit Rangers
2. At least some Cherokee stock wheels fit Rangers
3. Ranger wheels appear to fit both Cherokees and Wranglers
4. Aftermarket wheels seem to fit all.
Keep in mind that older CJ jeeps had a 5x5.5 bolt pattern that is not compatible with newer Jeeps OR Rangers which are 5x4.5.

Anyone else want to tell us about their aftermarket wheels?
