    i was wondering if the ion alloy wheels will work on my cj5.
    im mainly just worried about if they will work with the locking hubs.
    does anyone know?

    Why not look 'em up then and see if they have the right bolt pattern and backspacing? CJ's are 5 on 5 1/2" bolt pattern and 8" wide wheels are typically around 3 3/4" back spacing and 10" are typically around 4" backspacing.
    I'd go to the manufacturer and ask them as they will know their product much better.

    AFAIK, all aftermarket wheels with 5X5.5 have a standard size center hole, 4.25" (actually it's more like 4.28" IIRC) which will fit over your hubs.

    Well, they say they fit all Jeep needs and list the CJ bolt pattern specifically so I imagine they would. If you question that then it would make sense to contact them directly and find out. Measure your hubs and make sure the center hole will clear your hub.
    Oh, and what Patrick said.

    Just E-mail or phone Quadratec. They should have the product info or the contact info or maybe a web site address.

    I work for a company that manufactures products sold through Quadratec and they route tech questions to us all the time.

    Patrick, the Ansen sprint slots that American had were 5 on 5 1/2" and they had the small hole (3.75" I think). Thats why we couldn't use them as sort of a replacement for the factory slots that came on the Renegade's. I thought a long time ago of buying them and boring them out but was afraid if I got a bad wheel and it broke after boring it they would simply blame me for boring them out. I even called American and talked to a guy about this.
    American does not even list these wheels anymore.

    Most might have been more applicable but as far as I can tell they just took the wheel bolt size off there website about a month ago. Most of these I guess were made for the 2wd Ford trucks and not a jeep 4x4.
