I really like those fuel boost B. It's amazing how different wheels can look once on a particular car - I wouldn't have picked those from a lineup, but reckon they look tough. They are a +20 offset though, might be ok. The monsters are +35, and I know people in the states are rolling 0 offset, but I've read there can be vibration issues.

There are a few nice KMC rims, I like these:


Or maybe the thumps:



Haven't seen them locally.

+1 Love the XD818's, quite like the thumps too but not sure they'll suit the grand installed. Both seem to be good offsets (+30 and +35 for 18x9).

There appears to be a lot more wheels on the US version of the website, maybe importing them might be possible though.

Help please Jeep Grand Cherokee Owners!

Like Techscholar we've got a Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited and we are looking at purchasing new tyres but road tyres NOT offroad.

Unfortunately, we've just discovered this morning a screw in one of the tyres and this prompted us to look at the spare tyre only to discover the rims & tyre sizes differ.....as Techscholar also mentioned.

So firstly, as the tyres/rims currently fitted on all 4 wheels are 265/50R20 107V and the spare is P245/65R18 .......surely if the spare was fitted (now that we have a screw in the tyre) the vehicle would be unsafe to drive???

Anyone know the reason why they would differ?? Maybe not the height of the tyre profile but I would have thought the rims should be the same size.

And lastly, anyone recommend replacement tyre brands for onroad tyres? Brands/Prices & why you recommend them.

Thanks everyone

As long as the diameter of the tyre is the same, then there is no problem. Ideally you want similar tread patterns.

On tyre choice, there's some reading here:
