I'm searching myself, but maybe y'all know something I don't (or even have some!)

I have a 1984 DJ5 (final year)

From the factory, they are 14" dia, 5x4.5 bolt patter, with a 2.75" center bore, 5 inches wide (or close)

They appear to be 'hub centric' but I don't know if that matters for the low speed/light use this thing will encounter

I want to step up to 15s, but I want the solid steel wheel look, and keep the tires tucked...like this as pic example:

I know base model Jeep YJ and XJ wheels are 5x4.5, but they are more of a wagon wheel look

Do I need to worry about hub centric?

Does anyone have a set of 15" YJ/XJ base model steel wheels they could offer for fit and backspace checks?

Know of any easy to browse sites to add my fitment details?

Got some laying around you don't need?!

Thanks!

You can get the wheel off of a ford cars 1972 or1973 up to about 1981 to 1987 they have 15 in. on 4.5 bolt pattern. You want 1972 or 1973 or newer to get the disc brake wheels so they would clear the brake caliper. The years i posted might not be all the years that fit. Cars like LTD 2 - cougar - thunder bird cars like that.
You don't need to worry about the hub centric that thing cant haul enough weight to need that.
 
I might have a few sets i will have to look and see what shape they are in. I know few people around here that should have a set or two will take time to get up with them.
Measure the center of the hub and let us know the size and i will check what i have then.
