need help with wheels for the DD
ok guys i know this isnt for f-bodys but i practically live off this website and the help here has saved my *** tons of times, so here's the situation
i have a 2006 grand cherokee
current stock rim spec's:
~17x7.5
~backspace: 6.25"
~offset:50.8mm
and i want to put on these wheels
http://www.tiresbyweb.com/p-9370-eag...ck-wheels.aspx
here are the spec's on these:
~17x8
~backspace:5.19"
~offset:20
what i need to know is will these wheels look normal on the car or what the truck is lifted and i was contemplating on getting some 1inch spacers for it so the stock wheels look flush with the fenders but i found these wheels instead
so if anyone can help me that would be sweet and if the wheels were to stick out is there anyway of determing how much??
thanks!!!

Not really digging those. They look more like somehting you'd see on a fullsize pickup.
Doesn't really look like a "Jeep" wheel to me.
I believe JK wheels will fit your WK...a set of Rubicon wheels would look great on there!
How much lift you have?

What I don't like about the wheels you posted, is the huge, "18 wheeler looking" center caps. A lot of the wheelmakers have a "generic" 4.25" centerbore on their SUV wheels, which A) requires those big-assed centercaps; and B) doesn't give you a hub-centric wheel, which might give you issues with vibrations.
I put a set of aftermarket rims on my "winter beater" 4x4 GMC Canyon, and had to deal with those issues.

Yeah, that's what makes me think of them as fullsize truck wheels. The look like the kind of cap you'd need to cover the rear hubs on the trucks with full floating rears.
I saw two trucks today with very similar wheels, btw...both fullsize GM's...one a pickup, the other a van.
Those 20's are cool looking...... except for the fact that they're 20's. 20's have no business being on a Jeep (other than SRT8), IMO.
Did you check the Jeep boards? www.jeepforum.com
