Jeep Cherokee mostly, but any 5 on 4.5 inch bolt circle wheel will work.
Edit: Ford wheels (Ranger etc) may have a smaller center hole and may not fit over the hub.

A previous owner put American Racing Outlaw II on my 88. (I think I got the name right).

Mine are early 90s Cherokee

Ford Ranger wheels will have to have the center hole ground out slightly to be able to fit over the hub on the Eagle front axle. Mine are from an '07 Edge package Ranger.

a guy i know has a 80's ranger with four wheel drive and his actually fit on the front of Eagle Eyes without modifying them.

Its the back axle that can give problems.not the front. Also depends on the ranger wheel.

Thanks so much all. Think I'm gonna look into cherokee wheels.

I couldn't remember which end of the Eagle it was that gave me trouble, but a quick zip with the die grinder had wheels fitting nicely. Its no longer a problem, since I buzzed all four wheels with the grinder, and I swapped out the stock Eagle rear axle with a D35 from a ZJ for disk brakes and a stock look.

Exactly. It is the nut and end of the axle shaft that are sticking out that give you problems. If you have the stock rear axle you need a wheel with a large center cap.

Thanks for illustrating.

Mine are also from a 90's Jeep.

I just have chrome snap-on skins over mine to give it a great look.

Hey! Where did you get that AMC cap?

Here are my wheels. Kindof going for a more militaristic look, no fluffy chrome here. Stock Eagle rims, changed to Ford Explorer lug nuts and center caps. Filled in the ford logo and painted to match rims.
