The factory wheels can be used. Your dealership is interested in selling
rims that you do not need.
CAVEAT
In the unlikely event that you have the very narrow and small tires used on
the Base Model YJ, you could (that's c-o-u-l-d) have trouble with a 10.5
wide tire, in this case you can buy new rims that are 8 inches wide for $27
each in white or black, or $30 in chrome, and be good to go.
