I'm looking for a set of wheels to fit the Trailhawk that would allow enough room for the brake rotor, have enough offset to move the tire away from the strut in order to fit a set of 235 65 17 or 235 70 17 tires since those sizes have much more selection of AT and MT tires. I'm aware that people have run those sizes after cutting and using spacers. I'd like to find a set of wheels with the required offset so that all I'd need to do was have the Daystar 1.5" lift. My guess is that the necessary wheel size would be 17x7.5 or 17x7 with 19mm offset. I've read through several different Renegade forums and haven't run across anything yet and I've looked at every wheel manufacturers site I can think of and haven't found anything. Without spending $1,500-$2,500 per wheel for a custom one off set, does anyone know of any wheels out there that size? shaggy
I don't think your going to manage a 235/70r17 without major rubbing. I've only heard only two renegades with this tire size. One is all cut up to not rub and the other was some company that did it for pictures and doesn't really drive the thing. G force makes a similar wheel. 16x7 +20mm offset. These Will stick out 0.8" over stock Unknown price I emailed a vender the other day to get pricing I'm waiting for an answer. I'll let you know what the price is. Otherwise all that I have found are these wheels : --not the correct tires which this package-- 17x8 +25mm offset. With that offset you likely cannot run a tire that tall without hitting the strut. These wheels will only give +2mm of clearance on the backside in comparison to stock. However you could run a 7mm flat hubcentric spacer with longer wheel bolts. Which would make the wheel stick out approx 1.37" Or a .75in spacer if your ok with the wheels sticking out 1.85" beyond stock. You could also run these: 17x8 +30mm offset these will require a spacer. If you ran a .75" spacer your wheels would stick out about another 1.5" over stock. I have also seen this wheel in use but it would require a .75"-1" wheel spacer: These are 17x8 +35mm offset. They will stick out 1.4" with a .75" spacer or 1.7" with a 1" spacer. Here's a pic of the above setup unknown tire size and unknown spacer: The good thing about all the options above over stock is that your not putting as much stress on your wheel bearing when using a spacer. Because you are offsetting the load with a wider wheel and increased back spacing before you add the spacer. Hope this helps
