Each wheel ships free to the lower forty-eight states, so you can refresh your Jeep's stance with confidence.
1981 Jeep CJ7 Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1981 Jeep CJ7 uses a 5x139.7 bolt pattern with a 114.3mm hub-centric bore. The factory wheel measures 15x6 inches at a 13mm offset. You can go wider and taller with square setups: fifteen-inch options stretch to 15x10, while sixteen and seventeen-inch wheels fit in sizes ranging from 16x6 up to 17x7.5. This flexibility lets you customize your look without special adapters.
Keep in mind that only 5x139.7 bolts properly to your CJ7—no other patterns work. Since your wheels need to be hub-centric, use centering rings if your wheel's bore exceeds our 114.3mm specification. Aggressive offsets or overly wide wheels risk rubbing the fender and suspension components, so stay conservative when pushing toward larger diameters.
Every wheel we ship fits your CJ7 and arrives free in the lower 48 states. Carolina Forged, Icon Alloys, Vision, Black Rhino, American Racing, and other quality brands are in stock now.
