Wheels from another vehicle
Have a set of 6 lug wheels with 5" backspacing. I found a spacer adapter to fit these to my new 12 Sahara, but they are 2" thick thus netting me about 3" backspacing if my math is correct. Will this work?

There are a few different places. W ww.ezaccessory.com, w ww.adaptit.com and w ww.airbagit.com. The first one above was the one I read the most about. I have a set of 20*8.5 rock stars with 5" backspace that were on my 06 Denali with 275 65 20's that I would love to use on the new jeep

I don't think it will end up working. I made a rough set of 2" spacers just to mock the wheels up. With 3" back spacing, the tires are about 3.5" outside the stock flares

Not sure...fabbed up set of 2" spacers (found a few conversion adapters that were 2" thick to convert from the chevy 6 lug pattern to the new 5 lug pattern? then placed the wheels up to the spacer and measured. The tires (275 65 20's - 34*11.50's) stuck out past the flare 3.5-4". This was done sitting level on the ground. The temp spacers will not permit me to bolt the wheels to them and turn the wheel or flex. What size are your tires? I see 31's but what width?
