Anyone know yet what the backspace and bolt pattern is for the Patriot?

So, do ya think 16 " Moab wheels (standard on the Wrangler Rubicon) will fit on the Patriot??

The bolt pattern should be the same between all of the jeep line. But the struggle will be fitting the Rubi wheel to the Patriot since the MK is a FWD platform.

I'm about 90% sure the Patriot and the TJ have the same bolt pattern. So, yes you can use Moab rims but.... The problem is the stock MTRs will more than likely rub.

Not all Jeep bolt patterns are the same. I know for a fact TJ, XJ, YJ and ZJ are the same. I think WJ and KJ might also be the same. The CJ is different. I think the XK and WK are different too. So is the bolt pattern on the new JK. :D

I didnt really get an answer to the question. I want to upgrade from my 16" rims. Does anyone know what other Jeeps have same boltpattern and depth?

If the bolt pattern is the same, then the only issue should be backspacing. What is the backspacing on the Patriot?

Can anyone that owns one tell me what the backspacing is on your stock wheels?

See this tread....:smiley_thumbs_up:

the/bolt/pattern/is/a/114.3x5/or/a/4.5x5/

I may be wrong here but I do believe the newer wrangler has a bigger bolt pattern. As far as rubbing is concerned, I have 16 inch rear wheel drive jeep grand cherokee wheels on my front wheel drive pat, the grand cherokee was a 98 model and had the smaller bolt pattern. Look up the wranglers bolt pattern the backspacing is probably fine

The bolt pattern is 5 bolt 4.5 inch. This is crucial when buying new rims. All Jeeps have different bolt spacing so a YJ rim probably won't fit on a Patriot unless you enjoy drilling new holes into aluminum. Not sure what the stock backspacing on the patriot rims is, but it has to be close to 4". Pretty much any aftermarket rim you want, will need the lift kit to fit it on. The rims I put on had 4.5 backspacing and did NOT fit without the lift kit. Good luck yo
