1979 Jeep J20 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Jeep J20 rolls on a 6x139.7 bolt pattern with a 114.6mm hub-centric center bore. Factory wheels measure 15x6 with a 3mm offset. You can step up to 15x7, 15x8, or move to 16-inch, 16.5-inch, or 17-inch diameters in widths ranging from 6 to 8.5 inches, all with compatible offsets for your truck's geometry.
All wheels fitting your J20 must use the 6x139.7 bolt pattern—nothing else will mount safely. Since our inventory includes wheels with larger center bores, hub-centric rings are essential to ensure a proper fit against your 114.6mm hub. Avoid excessively wide or aggressive offset combinations that risk contact with fenders or suspension components on this classic truck frame.
Every wheel we list for your 1979 Jeep J20 is confirmed to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock Vision, Work Wheels, Fuel 1PC, OE Wheels, Carolina Forged, LOCK OFFROAD, Enkei, and Icon Alloys—all ready to upgrade your J20's stance.
