OEM 16" Wheels with WJ Brakes

[Root Moose]

Anyone know off hand if wheels like TJ Moabs, ZJ Timberlines, or Ultrastars will fit over WJ calipers?

I have no personal experience but it appears that WJs came stock with 16s and I feel like there has been a ton of discussion about which exact calipers can fit inside 15s. @Bryan C. might have had WJ brakes inside 15” beadlocks at one time?

I have WJ BBs on a 2000 XJ. The 16" aluminum rims fit. I remember trying to fit some steelies from an XJ. Didn't work for me. Some report success. Others have to grind a bit off the calipers. I have Akebono calipers.

I started off with my factory Ultrastars (16x7 w/5" bs) but switched to the TJ Rubicons (16x8 w/4.5" bs) on mine.

Idk but do know i have 15s on my wj stuff 4.5" back spacing

I have a friend running WJ Akebono with 15" turbines and 1.5" or 2" spacers

I did run 15" Canyon rims with a 2" spacer. It was the wider rim. I remember 1.5 spacers did not work.

Thanks, All. Sounds like the inner barrel on the alloy 16's clear.

FWIW, for anyone stumbles over this in the future. I have steel 16x8-5BS Cragar Soft 8s on one of my Jeeps now. They fit fine.

I'm going to try to find some OEM wheels for the next Jeep (smaller, stealthier build). That's where this question is coming from.
