Wanted to Buy: Wheels with 5x5" spacing (Jeep)

Post by theoutlaw30 »

I want some different wheels and tires for my '01 Jeep WJ Grand Cherokee. Recent JK take-offs will work. Wheels must have 5x5" bolt pattern spacing or 5x127mm. Tires cannot be bigger than 245-70's. I have stock wheels on the Grand, but no center caps, but am looking for a different style. Also looking for offroad tires -- this is not going to be a daily driver, probably 80% enjoying the sand with you guys and gals.

Tire Rack says JK Sahara comes stock with 255/70/18's, but the quadratec attachment says 17". Yours are 17" x 7.5"? What size tire? At any rate, from the research I've done, I would need more of a lift than my planned 2" to get by with 255/70's -- too much contact and rubbing (read eating of fenders). 245/70's seem to be my max for height (about 30.5"). My current wheel is the same size as the quadratec ad, but your JK looks so much better.

Besides, you'd have a couple of guys a little upset here when it comes time for them to pass inspection!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

anyway, i only have 4 rims available, and that would put me to have a damage one as spare on my rig... but if they fit (which we can find out trying mines) they are easy to find on the market!
