Hello, I am new here, I have a question that I was hoping to get some help and potential resources to find where to go.

I drive a 2017 Renegade Limited.

I plan on getting a small lift (either the 1.5 or the 2" that I have seen online).

But prior to that I plan on getting new tires and rims, and this is what I was hoping to get some help with. Currently I have the standard tire and rim that comes on the Limited tires 225/55/R18/98H.

I want to get a set of Black Rims and a set of A/T Tires I live in a place where there is snow 6 months of the year. I also do a fair amount of highway driving. The tires need to be able to handle snow, off-roading, and do good on the highways (tough combination I'm sure).

I am having a difficult time finding a black rim that fits my jeep that will also fit a good A/T tire. Something like a BFG KO2 for example.

I was hoping someone could provide me with an example of a set of black rims, that will fit my jeep, that will also fit a good all terrain tire such as a BFG KO2 (if you have other A/T recommendations that will fit my needs I am all ears as well). I am fine if the vehicle sits a little higher as well.
Also I am all ears if it would be better to get the lift prior to the rims and tires, I could go either way.

Also if I do get new tires/rims do I need new TPS? Or can I use the current ones and I would assume I need to program the computer as the tire pressure may not be the same as stock tires?

Thank you very much for the help.
Have a nice day.

Any picture of your ride?

You will find a lot of information here.

I went with the Method Race Wheels; MR701 (Black), 17X7.5, 5X110, 30mm offset and BFGoodrich’s All-Terrain T/A KO2 @ 245/65R17 tires.

If you were to go with the BFGoodrich’s KO2, 225/65R17 on the size rim specifications listed above, wheel spacers will NOT be required, and no rubbing.

Your current tires are a 27.7 inch tire, the 225/65R17 are a 28.5 inch tire. A little taller, more side wall and a wider stance with that size rim and offset.

attached are a couple pics of the rims (don't compare with the fitment of the tires. I am using staggered wheel spacers and wider tires, with a lift).

thank you very much for the information. That is very helpful.
Mine is a black 2017 limited looks fully stock at present.
Does Mounting your spare tire on the back make it not able for you to use your trunk?

The spare tire in on a swing arm and has to be opened before the lift gate can be.

That is nice. Is the tire rack solid, any rattles?

 

[puddlesplasher]

IDMOR has more cost attached to that Jeep in Mods than the cost of the original Jeep.

I'm so jealous

OMG I just noticed those brilliant white LED tailgate lights. Give us a tutorial on fitting them please

No rattles. The bumper is the AVID RADIUS Expedition Rear Bumper with Tire Carrier. The swing arm has a wedge block that fits into a receiver that keeps everything tight, and it is adjustable if it loosens up over time.

That seems to be a well engineered and manufactured bumper. Thanks.

Futher to this would it be reomneded for me to get the tires and rims first and then the lift or the other way around?

Thanks!

Me, I would lift first and then get the rims and tire to that fit.

I purchased my tires and rims first. I didn't install until I finished the lift. 2.5 AVID with Eibach Pro Lift Springs. 245/65/17. Pinch mod and lots of trimming to accommodate the tire/rim/spacer combo....

Welcome to the forum. That is one rugged looking go anywhere Renegade, nice job. How much lift did you wind up with? I have seen a lot of videos from Texas of some highly modified Renegades, you guys don't fool around. 👍 Thanks for posting.

Where do you purchase the side arm?

 

[dgr401]

Welcome to the forum. The swing arm is part of the Avid bumper. Do a google search on Avid Essentials, they have bumpers, lift kits, etc for the Renegade.
