    Will the 2002 Jeep Liberty wheels fit a 2015 Jeep Renegade? Getting rid of my Liberty, thought I could use spare and jack for the Renegade? Any info would be appreciated! Thank you!

    Nope, The Liberty is 5x4.5" (114.3mm) and the Renegade is 5x110mm, so the Liberty's rims won't fit..

    Thank you for responding! I was afraid of that. Guess I will snatch the jack from it, though, then all I will need is a spare. Thanks again!

    Are there other Jeep models, wheels that are compatible to current Jeep Renegade’s wheels? Please advise, anyone? Thank you!

    I dont' think so. You have to remember the Renegade is a re-badged Fiat 500 made in Italy. It does not share many parts with other jeeps.

    But if you really want those wheels, you can get adapter that will change your bolt pattern.

    The current Cherokee is the same pattern, But that's prttey much because it's based on the same platform as the Renegade, and they share a ton of parts...

    Like @persquank said, Adding the adapter would be killing two birds. Changing your bolt pattern and adding the spacer ALL-IN-ONE.

    lol, best of both worlds.

    BUT, with that said. I would personally go with a 1.5 inch spacer/adapter.
    I have found that the 1 inch (25mm) isn't thick enough for the wheel bolts, and the head of the bolt needs to be ground down to be flush with the adapter (the head of the bolt sticks out past the adapters/spacer). OR, you can replace the stock wheel bolds with new wheel bolds with a shorter head.
    You don't have that problem with the 1.5 inch adapters/spacers.

    I think it's the Compass that shares the platform. I added 1"(25mm) lug bolt to lug nut converter spacers. Required short head M12x1.25, 22mm shank lug bolts. Stock lug bolt heads project past the face of the spacer. Worked with the stock Trailhawk wheels due to recesses cast into the wheel mounting surface...

    Oops, Thawk16 Is Correct.. The Compass is the jeep with the common platform to the Renegade, But All three share the 5x110mm bolt pattern...

    Had a 17 Compass and kept the spare tire thinking it would fit my 18 Renegade.
    The bolt hole pattern on the spare from the compass is not the same as the Renegade.

    Thanks, everyone! You have given me several options to consider! I really appreciate the help! I may just purchase a matching wheel and put a cheap tire on it for the spare. I do love the look of my stock 18's!

    This is also correct, The 2017 Compass Does NOT share it's platform with the Renegade, and still has the MK platform derived from the Dodge Caliber, So 5x114.3 (5x4.5). In 2018 they moved the Compass to it's current Platform, and a 5x110 Bolt pattern..
