Wheels & Tires

Ok so its time to start gearing up for some wheels and tires. I have an Overland with QL. I want to stick with 20's but my question is what tire should I go with? I want something off-road but I dont know how big I can go without rubbing. The 2 wheel sizes I am considering are 20x8 and 20x9.5.





Both will fit just confused on tires really. Any help would be awesome.

RG, you may want to start with basics for an 18" wheelset for AT/offroad. The 20's could take a beating off pavement, which would be sad given how damn nice they are. Some have suggested a 17" wheel may not fit over the HD brake calipers, though this is unclear.

So with that in mind 18" stock rubber is 265/60/18 which is 30.5" diameter. Others JG members have gone slightly larger, maybe up to 31.5" without rubbing. Can't recall, maybe try a search or they will chime in here.

An 18" stock wheel for the JGC has the following parameters:

18 X 8
5-125 bolt pattern
+56.4 offset

I recall those top KMC Rockstars in your OP may have enough offset, but the bottom XD versions did not. You can get away with as little as say +40 to +45 offset on the WK2, but the wheels will stick out a bit, not too bad for AT.

As you can see I just defaulted to the black Mopar 18" which are solid for winter/AT, but not as stylin as those Rockstars.

I was waiting for your response lol. Thanks dude. I was thinking of going with the black Mopars but to be honest I can get the rockstars cheaper.

Either way I need to stop draggin ass on this and get it done. If anyone has any other suggestions please let me know.

Flat black would be sweet in the standard Overland wheel package. Heard that a chrome plated version of those wheels will be available on the 2012 Overland Summit and a 22" version for the 12 SRT8.
