Texas Wheel Fitment JK Wrangler 2007-2018 to Gladiator

[brock40]

I like these wheels from over seas that say they fit JK wranglers 2007-2018. It's from Project Kahn. Project Kahn Site So I checked the specs on the JK wrangler and compared it to the Gladiator.

JK Specs:
OEM Wheel Size lug pattern stud size hub center

07 - 18 Jeep Wrangler JK

17" - 18"​

5 on 5​

1/2 x 20​

71.5​

Gladiator specs:

020-22 Jeep Gladiator JT

17" - 18"​

5 on 5​

14mm x 1.50​

71.5​

So everything looks to be the same but the stud size of 1/2 x 20 and 14mm x 1.50. Does this matter? Do I just buy different lugs? or would I actually have to swap out all 5 studs for each wheel?

Here are the wheels and I think I'm going to purchase some Coopers 295/70 18 Discover STT Pro. I need to make sure these wheels fit because they are coming from Europe and shipping is quite a bit. No returns unless I want to spend over $500.



Thanks.

They're being shipped out on Monday, should have them on the Gladiator in about 2 weeks.

Got any pics!? This is the wheel I'm most interested in.

I just received tracking today, shipped DHL and should be delivered on Monday. Impressive, as they're shipped from London. They're in stock now, when I ordered them two weeks ago they were on pre-order.

Now, I'm trying to figure out the lug nuts I need, I spoke with someone at Kahn and I don't believe my factory gladiator lugs nuts will fit. He said because of the wheel design I need small tuner lugs, I believe 12PT...so I'm guessing 12x1.5?

After trying to figure out backspace, offsets, tire sizes, and now lug size it's enough to make your brain implode.

I'm going to go with the Cooper Discoverer Pros STT 285/65 R18 as those are the same in the pics on project kahn. 33's, but they're really aggressive tires...maybe almost look like 34's.

If I receive them on Monday, I'll be at Discount Tire on Tuesday with Pics around then.

Thank man! Appreciate the reply on this. Really looking forward to seeing this wheel. Hadn't got around to the leg work of figuring out the backspace/offset etc. Is it pretty similar to a stock jeep wheel. I did see it's the same width. I was planning to put this on a stock Rubicon with 35x11.5" Nitto Trail Grapplers.

Heck yeah! Love that look. The Defender 110 or 130 is pretty much my dream rig, so I love the look this wheel gives.

I was thinking of going with a 285/75 R18 tire which is about 34.4 depending on the tire. But, i really like the white lettering on the tires. I can't find a 285/75 r18 tire with white lettering.

Wheels are on the Jeep! Just need to buy some JL Jeep center caps as my OEM's didn't fit. Plus, the lugs aren't flush. But those are just minor issues.

Other than that I'm really pleased on how these wheels and tires look.
