The offset. Eagle is same as Jeep, but the rest of the cars aren't. I just tried to put Eagle tires on the front of my '82 Spirit (I already have an Eagle rear axle in) No go. I'd need 2" spacers to get the right offset and not hit my steering/suspension components.
   I also discovered that Mazda MPV have the same bolt pattern and offset, but the Eagle rims won't go on because of the drums. There was about 1/2" behind the center of the wheel and it was already hitting the drum!

Does anyone know if there is any reason why Jeep 4.5" bolt circle wheels (such as a set from a Jeep Compass) couldn't be used on AMC passenger cars?
 
The following allegedly have 4.5" bolt circles:
 
----------------------------------------
 
5 x 4.5 (same as 5 x 114.3)
 
Jeep
 
1984-1998 Grand Cherokee
1983-1993 Grand Wagoneer
1983-2000 Cherokee
1980-1992 Comanche
1980-2006 Wrangler / CJ
2002-2009 Liberty
2007-2009 Compass
 
----------------------------------------
 
Thanks in advance!
