Does anyone know the back spacing and bolt pattern for an 08 JK Sahara? Thanks.

lug pattern is 5 on 5, not sure on backspacing.

Also, on said JK Sahara. Is there an issue going from 18" wheels to say 16"? Thanks.

IIRC brakes are all the same on all JKs (at least NA spec). Confirm that though.

Backspacing on the factory JK wheels is 6.25"

16" wheels work fine. There are issues with most 15" wheels though.

All of the brakes are the same. All of the tires/wheel combos are interchangeable (sahara/rubicon/x)

There are a lot of people running 15's, but I'd check clearance with the exact wheel before buying anything....I'd go minimum 16's

you'll have to do a little grinding on the brake calipers to run 15s, but it is possible.
