Is Jeep Grand Cherokee Wheel Bolt Pattern The Same As Other Jeep Models?
Not all. Jeep Cherokee does share the same wheel lug patterns with some Jeep Wrangler and Liberty models (5×114.3) and Jeep Commander (5×127). However, it is not exactly similar to some other lines: Jeep Comanche and Wagoneer, for instance, have a lug pattern of 5×139.3.
Is It Possible To Change The Lug Pattern Jeep Cherokee?
Yes, thanks to the help of custom offset range for aftermarket wheel options and tire sidewalls, wheel adapters, and redrilling methods. Nevertheless, changing a fixed design is risky and might damper the hub if you are not careful.
What Bolt Pattern Wheels Interchange With Grand Cherokee Wheels?
On the off-chance that you cannot find a Jeep Grand Cherokee’s model wheel, then a collection of wheels from other Jeep cars will do: Mercury, Chrysler RT, Lincoln, Mazda, and Gladiator.
Before purchasing these Jeep wheels, though, remember to consult with the dealer about your bolt fitment first.
Conclusion
The most common Grand Cherokee bolt pattern is still 5 on 5, though you may also find another smaller version in earlier Cherokee models.
Keep in mind your current wheel bolt pattern when seeking a compatible Cherokee wheel, and consult specialists if you want to change the pattern for aftermarket tire assemblies!
