Looking to get wheel spacers and I'm trying to find out what my lug pattern is. Can anything assist me with that?? Thanks

That's correct.

And if it helps, it's the same size as what's on the Liberty and old TJ Wranglers. That might open up some possibilities for you.

Patriot, Compass, XJ, TJ, KJ, ZJ, WJ, and a few others all have 5-lug 4.5-inch pattern. This is noted many times in this forum and other places.

I forget which axle hub was larger -- I presume the Wrangler -- so when I tried to interchange the wheels (both 16") on one there was a gap surrounding the hub so the vehicle's weight would have been on the lugs only, and that was not a fit I was comfortable with. On the other vehicle the wheel would have jammed onto the hub and figuring I might one day want to take that wheel off, I went no further with my experiment. I doubt the fit would have been true anyway. But yes, the lugs lined up with the holes in the wheels -- as I said above, the size difference in axle hubs was the problem. I say don't do it.

Ya know, it was the darnedest thing. I really tried to get my Wrangler tires/wheels on my Patriot, but I just couldn't do it. After deciding I couldn't interchange the wheels, I tried mounting my 225/75-16s on my Patriot wheels, but the clearance was too close for my comfort.

I've gotten into a couple verbal scraps with others on the site over whether 225/75-16s will fit -- I say no. It may be that later years were lifted enough to make it work. But as for the wheels, that sloppy fit made it a no go. I'm not a risk taker -- the last thing I want is a tire/wheel failure at highway speeds. :eek:
