I searched several forums regarding winter wheels and researched the bolt pattern, offset etc at Tire Rack and found they have steel wheels (16 x 6.5, os 40mm, 5.43 backspace) that the same rim fits several different vehicles including several Jeeps and Caravans. I reasoned that the OEM rims from these vehicles should interchange also. I found out today that's not necessarily true. Although the bolt pattern is the same on the Grand Cherokee's, they don't fit. The calipers on the Caravan stick out too far and would lock the Jeep wheel if the bolts are tightened.
The 2007 and newer Jeep Wranglers with the OEM 16" steel wheels seem to be the same specs. Has anyone tried these on a Caravan? I have a chance to buy a like new set of 07 Wrangler rims for $100 but they're 130 mi away. I don't know anyone with a Wrangler to try it and don't want to drive that far to find out they won't work.
Any help will be appreciated.

i have a 1994 dodge grand caravan. i was online and saw that in the the next town a guy was parting out a 1998 jeep 5.9l LDT. i also have the same jeep with the 5.9l with 235k on it, and i love the rims so i went over to get them off the one he was parting out. he said that if i gave him a ****y pare of wheels he would take 50$ off the price. so i took my stock set of steel rims to place on the jeep. i wasn't using the stock set due to a set of aluminum rims i have on the van off a 1998 grand caravan. Any way the stock caravan rims fit perfect on his jeep im planing on putting the set of jeep ultra stars rims from him on my 1994 dodge grand caravan.
one other thing my dad has a 05 grand caravan we tried to put the 1998 grand caravan rims on his 05 the fit but the van wood not move due to the rims hitting up on the calipers. my stock pare i gave away to the guy with the jeep fit his 05 though dont know why by 94 can fit 98 and 05 rims when the 05 van only fit stock rims and stock 94 rims but not the 98s.
