It's also 5x114.3 if looking at the so called metric rims.
Depending on center bore and offset - Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chrysler are interchangeable. With the right type of spacer, the world of rims goes wide open. That stated, this may change suspension dynamics, but a 1.5" spacer with a 1.5" offset rim means 0" offset for suspension.

Problem with stock studs are that hey are about .500 too short for modern Aluminium wheels. They are only good for steel rims or long shank mag lug nuts.
You could change out the studs with 2000 Jeep, which are about 2.0 inch length, or 1.72 from end of knurl. Not sure which stud year and make but there Is a 2.2" stud as well. PS, some metric wheels require factory metric lug nuts as they are wider and deeper at the bulge or shank that holds the wheel within the holes. I found GM S10 1/2" lug nuts perfect for metric acorn style rims. They are beefy and accept 7/8" wrench. Edited by 304-dude - Aug/16/2018 at 5:56pm |

OK, just stating not all wheels have the same thickness between bulge seat and hub flange. I should have stated that, in stead of making a flat out remark. Though my comment was on the option for other make wheels, as my experience with aluminum wheels have been one sided on late / modern oem spec wheels. Perhaps wheels made to fit AMC will be just fine across the board. |

Should correct my post; don't use spacers ever. In fact they are not legal in some jurisdictions.
5x4-1/2" x 5x4-1/2" bolt on adapters (also called spacers) is what I have used. No long studs or modification to factory axle. More money but way safer.
