Will H1 beadlocks work on the xj

[Switch_knuckles]

I have found a hook up on military spec H1 beadlocks. I know they are not the same bolt pattern, but can they be re-drilled? And if so would they work?

You can have new centers put in them with the wheel pattern of your choice. However, the offset is way off. You will need wider axles or spacers.

Just wondering, but couldn't you just have the new centers welded in backwards so that the offset was the other way?

yeah if new centers are being welded in to correct the bolt pattern they could be welded in with a different offset.... sorry.

Also they are 16.5" diameter..... not as much tire selection.

as for drilling em out... no, not enough there the center hub is to big and your lug holes would fall right into the center hub...

another thing about those in the picture is the speed rating, those will not pass most state inspections, the air pressure the 8 bolt ones will hold is not up to 32 psi at highway speeds. for that you need the 12 bolt model. Now if it's a trailer queen your putting them on, the 8 bolt ones are fine but if your talking daily driver or drive it to the ORV park or Trails, those 8 bolters are probably not what you would want.
