1979 Jeep CJ7 Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Jeep CJ7 Base rolls on a 5x139.7 bolt pattern, originally fitted with a 15x6 wheel at 13mm offset. You can upgrade to 15-inch or 16-inch widths up to 10 inches, or step up to 17-inch wheels in 7.5-inch width. Since this Jeep isn't staggered, matching sizes front and rear work perfectly.
The 5x139.7 bolt pattern is exclusive to your CJ7—no other pattern will fit. Your hub-centric bore measures 114.3mm; if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore, use hub-centric rings to ensure a proper fit. Wider wheels or aggressive offsets can interfere with fenders or suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes listed above to avoid clearance issues.
Every wheel we stock for your CJ7 bolts on securely and ships free to the lower 48 states. Check out Carolina Forged, Icon Alloys, Vision, Black Rhino, American Racing, American Truxx, Fuel 1PC, and FULL THROTTLE—all ready to ship.
