What to do depends partly on the backspacing of the wheels.
If the wheels have the same backspace as stock JK wheels, then a set of spacers that also adapt 5 to 5.5 should work great.
If the wheels already have less backspacing than stock, then adapters will make the wheels/tires stick out way too far. Nothing to do but use different wheels.

You could always drill out the rotors to a 5.5 patern! any one with a drill press can do it, and any machine shop can do it. You dont need to buy a thing, just drill and mount(not to sound dirty)
