Jeep wheels

Okay, I am not sure of the backspacing, or even the width, but I kinda dig the look. Anyone running these 17" Grand Cherokee rims?

Re: Jeep wheels

You will need spacers... however those particular wheels look too much like a hub cap to me.. or too plastic.. or something. Not my personal fav..

However.. of the 5x5 bolt pattern factory Jeep wheels.. I like these.. of course there are others in the old 5x4.5 bolt pattern that I prefer more...

Re: Jeep wheels

I agree that these are not the nicest ones. I really like the chrome SRT ones, but those aren't on CL for cheap. In fact, I think I have only seen those on eBay, and they were well over a grand. I was thinking about grabbing them and painting/powdercoating them black, or dark gray. I was just thinking I could have a set of 17" 5 spokes for little money, but I doubt they are very wide, maybe 6-7"? Does anyone have a picture of these wheels mounted on a square?

I'm thinking you might be the first, and maybe the ONLY one running those. Honestly they arent very attractive.

Thanks for the words of encouragement! I highly doubt I will get them, especially after finding out that I would need to spend the money on spacers. I knew they weren't the sexiest wheel out there, but I didn't think they were that bad. Didn't your daddy ever tell you...even the ugly ones need lovin too?

Sorry friend, I wasn't trying to kill your dream. I have learned that its better to save and get what you really want rather than compromise because you found a deal.

I think the spacer would fix this as well... not 100% sure though.
The bore for the Jeep wheels is 71.8mm, a GM wheel is 78.3mm. However... how far does the hub stick out? A couple of inches? If the spacer is 2" thick then it may work.
