18” Gladiator wheels on L?

Looking at some JT Gladiator 18” take offs and wondering if they will fit a L Laredo without any issues.



Thanks!
There should not be a problem since the lug pattern (5) is the same. The OEM Laredo L wheels are 18 x 8.0. The ones from the listing are 18 x 7.5. I would double check with the seller before buying though.

Sorry for my lack of knowledge. But would the 7.5 work or not work on the L?

The only other concern I have is I remember Gladiator or JK\JL wheels wouldn’t fit on WK grand chrokees as it didn’t clear the caliper and that a spacer was needed.

Would a WK2 18” wheel be a better fit for the L?

The standard wheel for the WK2 is also 18 x 8. Unless you get confirmation from the seller, I would not buy the wheels, especially since they are on eBay. If you had to return the wheels, it will be a hassle and expensive. You should look locally for wheel options that way the shop can tell you if a wheel will fit or not. Personally, if you like the pattern of the factory JGCL wheels you have, but just not the color, then get them powder coated. They will look amazing and you won't have to worry about fitment. Hopefully, this helps.

I recall reading someone else fitting the black 5 spoke Gladiator wheels (20" IIRC) and they had to use spacers to clear the calipers, which pushed the wheels out a bit more. So I'd be prepared for that issue.
