Well i just got my Jeep and i am already looking for some summer wheels. I have the Granite crystal colour.

I have searched the forum regarding what everyone is putting on there vehicle.

The SRT 22inch replicas are a nice rim, I am not a fan of black rims either.

What do you guys think of a alloy colour wheel or polished look for the granite WK2?

I saw a forum which had the overland wheels in 22inch ( I love the 20inch Overland rims but only if i could them in 22inch wheels would be ideal.

open to peoples comments and experience with colours which they liked.

Yeah I am mostly going to go with the 22inch replicas in a dark grey.

Yeah on forums but out here in Canada you don't see many. So I don't mind if people on forums have them. I am thinking 285/40/22.

Here are two wheels. Leaning towards the Grey since I think they suite my exterior colour? Or should I
Go with the silver or polished look?

Just a question is it better to go with 22x10 or can I get away with 22x9 all around with 285/40?

Has anyone gone with a 45 size profile instead of 40?, instead of 285//40/22 go with 285/45/22? will it rub with QL?
 
#12 ·
Yeah I figured that's why most went with that size. I would rather the extra side wall height.

45 series 3.99 inches
40 series 3.7 (94) inches

I know it isn't much but every little inch counts I guess!

So I am still up in the air for the size, I have been going back and fourth between 20" or 22". Reason is I have a 16ft aluminium fishing boat and will venture down some dirt roads. Not off-roading but thought maybe 22" might be pushing it.

What are your thoughts?

Either go SRT replicas in grey 20" 285/50/20 or go with 285/45/22 ? I am hoping the 285/45/22 will fit without rubbing since people are using 275/55/20 without issues?


Thanks guys.

There are quite a few people running the 20x9 SRT reps with 285-50-20's with no rubbing issues.

If you want to go to a 45 series tire, you could go with the 295-45-20 in either the 20x9 or 20x10 SRT reps. That's the popular size for maintaining the original diameter of the stock sized 265-50-20's.

I find these two web sites great a tire & offset calculators.

Thanks for all the information.

Has anyone seen 285/45/22 work without issues? I did a search and found one user and it look very tight.

I don't want any issue with my dealer saying I used the wrong tire size if I have an issue down the road with the driveline.

I went through the same dilemma as you. 20's or 22's but in the end went for the 20x10's with a 40 offset and going to put 295/45/20 tires this setup is as close as you can get to the stock dimensions. The only difference is you will be 1.2 inches farther out on the outboard side. Which should be a perfect look. 22's do fill the wheelwell very nicely but I actually thought they looked a little to big. Then there is the weight issue going with 22's will add approximately 17-20 LB's per wheel. I was not looking to add any more weight to the drivetrain. I just figured with the 20's was a happy medium. Good looking, no worries of rubbing, little or no weight gain. A very good site for info on wheel and tire specs is RimsnTires.com A very helpful and informative site. Hope this helps.

Okay, need your help yet again :).

Should I go with the dark grey wheels or polished. Originally I was going to go with the dark grey but have been thinking the Polished would also look good. Alloy wheel Rim Spoke Wheel Auto part

I'm partial to the polished, but a lot of people on the forum have an aversion to the polished & chrome & would choose the dark grey.

Go with the chrome or polish 22. Its only for the summer. My experience chrome is hard to keep clean and have to watch what you use on them to clean. Not all cleaning agents are good for chrome or polish.

Thanks Guys,

I think polished is looking good. Chrome might be a bit much not sure.

Yeah they are summer only wheels. My stock 18inch are dedicated winters.

Here are my rims that I just had made they are Savini BM 7s 20x10 with a +40 offset. They are matte black now but I'am going to have them repainted in Ferrari Grigio Silverstone. It is a greyish metallic color which changes color depending on the lighting. The spoke faces and inside of the barrels will be brushed and done with tinted clearcoat with the rest of the rim polished and clear coated. The tint will give the face and inside barrel a subtle difference in color shade. Hopefully they will look good on Billet Silver GC. First pics how they look now and the bottom pics how they will look when redone but a little darker as these are just an example of the brushed and polished look. Let me know what you think.
