* Backspacing: While the bolt pattern is the same, the backspacing (the distance from the mounting surface of the wheel to the innermost part of the wheel) might be slightly different. A small difference usually isn't a problem, but a significant difference could cause rubbing on the suspension or body. Check the backspacing of both the 2008 Rubicon rims and your 2005 Wrangler X's existing rims to ensure they are close.
* Tire Size: The tire size on the 2008 Rubicon might be larger than what's recommended or will fit on your 2005 Wrangler X without modifications. Larger tires can cause rubbing against the fenders, body, or suspension components. You'll need to check the tire size and compare it to your existing tires and the clearance you have available.
* Offset: Similar to backspacing, offset can affect fitment. While not always explicitly stated, it's important to compare specs as closely as possible to avoid issues.
In short, it's *likely* to work, but it's crucial to compare the specifications of the rims (specifically backspacing and offset) and tires to ensure a safe and proper fit. If you're unsure, it's best to consult a tire shop or Jeep specialist before making the change.
