Getting a JK 17" wheel to fit on YJ tire carrier

Hello wanted to see if anyone had any suggestions besides an adapter! I already have adapters on the car and thought I could just force them on.

What have you done? Can I buy another trunk mounted carrier?

He said he has adpators on the hub. Getting another adaptor or cutting off one lug would seem the easiest.

First off, you need to make sure that the new JK wheel will even fit without hitting your tailgate.

On my JK rubi wheels, even just putting the wheel mount surface up against the spare lug studs, it hit the bumpers on the tailgate.

So even if I was to cut one off or re-drill them and put the studs back in, it still wouldn't have fit without hitting.

The correct solution was to get the adapter/extender from Teraflex. Bolted up perfect and works great. I am very happy with it.
