I'm doing some research on replacing the wheels on my laredo-X. Does anyone know why Mopar doesn't have any wheels available for the WK2?

What do you mean by not available? Most of the OEM wheels are available through a dealer (usually the collision catalog), and then there is a couple other 18 and 20 inch styles available via the accessory catalog.

Thanks that's where I was looking, apparently I did what you did but nothing came up. until you click on wheels and hardware after you click on wheels tires and hardware.

So looks like all the wheels are there including the 70th Anniversary ones with no price. They don't even have pictures just an illustration of each wheel. :(

What kind of off road? Typically 20s and off road don't mix, not enough side wall. You could probably do mild off road and sand OK. You will have a broader selection of 18 inch on/off road tires. Look through the reviews at Tirerack.com to get an idea of what may be available. There is also a tire thread here to research.

Nothing extreme. I just have QT-1 so pretty much like you said mild off-road and sand. I'll check out tirerack and the forum for more info, thanks. BTW does anyone know if you can go to 20" rims on Laredo X without any mod. Did the limited get mod if you take 20" option as well as Laredo 70th Anniv which comes with 20".

The OEM 20 inch fits any vehicle without mods. You have to be careful putting smaller than 18 inch wheels on a V8 (HD calipers are bigger). There has been a lot of discussion about whats the maximum tire size, but if you stick with the OEM sizing you will not have any issues.

Thanks. Does anyone know the offset on the OEM 20". I see some are going with 20 x 9 and the OEM is 20 x 8. So with the 8" you need a bigger offset so it's not too inward of the wheel well. Is that how that works. Sorry for my ingorance. I'm looking for a beefier wheel/tire then my stock laredo 18" but nothing that sticks out pass the wheel well, thanks.

Stock offset is +56.4, so you may be able to get by with wider rubber than stock 8" with less offset which will put the wheels and tires a bit more outboard.

Others here have done just that, check out 4thcherokee with the Rhino rims and beefier tires.
