    I have a 2016 latitude 2wd with the stock 17's. I know that if I switch to the wranglers bolt pattern it will required to change through adapters no big deal. My question is will the 1.5 adapters still clear the sturt. I still want to have a little poke on the sides I don't like the flush look. Would I still need to run stock tire size or can I go to 225/65/17 just want a good AT tire nothing heavy. Right now 215/60/17 is what's stock. Any help appreciated. Similar rims to what I'm interested in are pictured.

    Depending on the backspacing on the rims, those adapters are essentially the same as a 1.5 spacer, so a 225/65r17 is going to rub on the rear of the front inner fender when you turn. You'd have to do the pinch seam mod to fix that. You shouldn't have any problem with the strut though.

    1.5 inch spacer will push it out pretty far, as afar as using them on a Renegade go. And then the wrangler offset is going to push it out even farther.

    You will definitely rub when turning.

    The rims that you are using as an example have a 0mm offset. with the 1.5 inch spacer, you will be pushing the tires out 3.27 inches.

    ... plus the rims are an inch wider, now you are out 3.5 inches-ish.
