I found a set of factory Jeep Wrangler Rubicon 17 inch rims(this is how they are advertised) for sale and wanted to pick them up for a extra set in the future. The question is will they fit my 2006 Commander without any modification and will the tire pressure sensors work. Any help would be much appreciated.

They will fit but I think you need to run spacers to clear the caliper I think 1/4" is the smallest spacer you can use. Someone confirm the spacer is needed other then that you will have no problems man.

Those look like mine, I have the Rubicon rims but you do have to run spacers to clear the brakes.

Just saying, those look like the 2006 and before Rubicon rims. For those years the rims were 16 inches and would not clear the brakes. Make sure they are 2007 or newer and 17 inches

Listing title says 17 but it is always safe to double check.

Just in case your worried about running 1/4" spacers I ran them for almost a year up front while wheeling and everything and had no problems. I used the basic old school type not the billet type ones like were all running with the bigger spacers. If you have the funds I would just order the billet type and go with at least a 1" spacer the XK looks so much better with the wheels pushed out.

Good call I did not see that. They just look like the old ones. I wanted a set and went to look at JK Rubicon take-offs, they were regular TJ rims. Just passing on my sceptitism

My old spacers, the 1/4" ones, are the old school type that you just put between the wheel and hub with no extra bolts or anything.
