Any reason to whore out some pictures of my Patriot is cool with me!
The wheels are Mod Tech 229 16x6.5. I forget the ofset but I think it's the same as factory. In order for the center caps to clear I had to run 5/16" spacers in the front. I put the same spacers in the back just for conguency.
The tires are 225/75/16 Falken High County A/T. my Patriot has a RRO lift now but the tires didn't rub pre-lift.
This tire and wheel combo is only slightly heavier than stock but provided >1" of additional ground clearnance.
For a year I had 16'' OE steel rims from '06 Liberty with stock GY LS2.
Now I have Unique 297 (part# 297--7712) 16x7, 5x4.5, 0 offset, 4'' backspacing, 3.3 center bore, approx 35lbs wrapped in 225/70/16 Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S which is 28.3".
Hi, haven't used this forum so not sure if I'm doing this correctly but I've just seen this wheel/tyre combination and wanted to know if there are any issues with it? As in rubbing, speed changes Etc?
I was thinking about trying this again. The thing I hate though is that the dip is darker than the tires so it looks really strange.. If I was to do this again I think i would only pain the inside of the wheels and not the trim. Kind of like the other alloys that came on the Patriot. Any ideas???
Is there any rubbing? Factory Offset? I'm new to the forum. Had my Patriot about a month. 09 4wd sport. Just looking to set it off some. Yours looks great.
Wow, Alainsrt4, that is about the nicest Compass I have seen!! Your Compass came together nicely, from the lowered look to the rims. The gun metal color for the rims was an excellent choice vs black that everyone else does. I would probably paint the calipers as a finishing touch. Nicely done.
So i bought a 2012 north edition in april and here the pictures of my set up. The wheels are forte f50 twisted and the tire are 275/40/20 wanli s-1088 was on my dodge nitro last year so with a center ring it fit .They rub when the wheels are turn to max but can live with it until tire are done.
I went 225/70 Cooper Discoverer LSX's with 16x8 Unique 297'd with Black Cragar caps. It gives the pat a little bit wider of a stance with the 16x8 rims.
Really love your combo (wheels and tires). You think it is possible to place a picture of the whole car in sunlight? Now your wheels are almost invisible due to the shade.
