I just bought a set of new takeoff 2012 SRT8 wheels and Scorpion all season tires. I figure I could buy them and try them out and worst case sell them if I decide I didnt like them.

Overall I am VERY pleased! I wasnt sure if the agressive offset and tire size would look awkward on the more luxury oriented Overland, but it turned out better than I thought. Fitment was perfect, clearances were more than enough, and the ride so far feels no different than my Overland 20" wheels. Tire pressure sensors automatically adjusted as well. The downside to these is yes they are heavy. I weighed the SRT wheel/tire combo and it came out to 81.2lbs, and the OEM Overland 20" wheel was 68lbs. On the first drive though I didnt feel any difference, and I will watch to see what happens to my fuel economy especially since I have the little V6.

I added much better pictures and after having all day to look at the car more I absolutely love these wheels on this car.

Current mods to the 12 Overland are:
-tint matched front windows
-sharkfin antenna
-side moulding removal and Grand Cherokee letters added
-chrome fog bezels
-body color mirror caps.

Well, heck, I did my tire search on tirerack for a '15 Jeep SRT, which nets only the $466/each tire that I have, and a $317 Pirelli winter tire, instead of just going by tire size. That had me thinking that was all that was available in that size. Silly me. Thank you. Now I see there are other more reasonable options.

Now I have to find some good winter tires. I am thinking of going BFG AT K02s on my 18"s that we can use in winter and on off road trips. I am thinking staying with stock size unless there is a good reason to change. After that it should be able to be outfitted for anything. I think...
