Nice renny, I like the color. I'm still debating about how much I can get away with my 16inch wheels. I'm looking into getting the general grabbers
Tire Sizes (Non TH Models)
I haven't been able to find a good thread to verify fitment of tires on the Non Trailhawk models. If there is and I missed it, I'm Sorry
So I am running a 225/65/17 (~28.5") with a 17x8 ET35 Wheel on a Sport 4x4
For clearance I have had no rubbing at full lock on flat ground and daily driving.
Tire to strut body clearance is about a finger tip at tightest point
Tire to strut spring perch is ~3/4" in front, more in rear.
Ill will have to get it off road to twist it up and air the tires down to see what happens. Will follow up soon.

That's a hela-pretty-blue! Nice looking wheels and tires setup.
Does everything work without spacers even? All you did was replace the wheels+tires and it's all good?
Looking forward to more pics!
Right... I always forget about the TPMS... If folks wanted to keep the factory TPMS on their stock rims, but also have TPMS on their aftermarket rims - is that something the dealer would have to program before mounting the new tires on the new rims? Or could you just include the TPMS piece while purchasing a set of wheels+tires, say online for example?
TPMS is new to me,
Have you been able to twist and flex your Renny enough to get any rubbing yet?
Thanks!
So, I'm having a problem finding an after market wheel that I actually really love. I've found plenty that I like, but I actually prefer the wheels my Renny-Lat came with in comparison.
Has anyone tried a larger set of tires on the OEM wheels? I'd like to move up a 215/65R17. In theory it would move me up to a 28" diameter setup, from the roughly 27.1 OEM setup.
But the brand tire I'd like is the Yokohama Geolander A/T-S. I had them on my Cherokee and my Durango, and they were a hella-excellent tire.
Problem is they don't come in 215/65R17. I can go with the same size as OEM, fire likely no increase in sidewall height or overall diameter. Or the next available size is 225/60R17, which moves up both width and sidewall.
Seems that 215/65R17 is a tricky size to find. Only 36 hits on Tirerack.com.
Sure wish I had a bud' with a tire-shop connection right about now...
"How about that one... Nope... Try that one... Nope... Let's try that one... Um, nope. That one on the end... Dernit..."
Like trying on shoes, right?

Ok... I __might__ have finally made a decision on a wheel:
Anzio Vision 17x7.5 35mm offset
Possibly with these tires:
Goodyear Wrangler SR-A 215/65R17
I ___might___ do 225/60R17 or even 225/65R17 ... Course, if I go this route I'll be going with the tires I originally wanted; the Geolander A/T-S
Sounds as-if the Trailhawk doesn't have a ton more lift than the other trim-levels ... Still need to do some more research.
Problem with ordering wheels+tires online is it's pretty much a done deal... They don't fit and I'll likely be stuck trying to eBay the SoBs, LOL

Looks like serious fun. Excellent that the 225/65R17s work out. Super easy size to find compared to the crap-size stock tires.
