How's it going everybody, sorry for the lengthy background but I'm a fairly new owner to a 2016 Jeep Patriot 4x4 it's not a top of line like some of you guys have as I could only afford a base model but I love it! I purchased back in November and did great in the NW parts of New York winters. Now that winter is over and it's nice out I'm trying to make it more practical for my self but on a slight budget.I'm in a band and do a lot of festival shows that being said I'm off road some of the time and usually in mud scenarios.
So I'm looking at upgrading tires and wheels now and go from there. Currently i have the stock 205/70/r16 eagles with 6.5 stock steelies I've done a couple days worth of info and have seen some tires and combos but still not sure what will fit and what won't. I'd prefer not to lift or mod anything (pinch weld mod if I absolutely need to)
Let me to the questions the wheels I've been looking ans seem to all be 8.00 inches wide.. can i go from 6.5 to 8.00 without problems? Everything else seems goodright bolt and back spacing, radius, 0 offset etc
Than it leads to the tire I would love the ko2's but 235/70/r16 seems a little wide but can I fit a 225/70/r16 on an 8inch wide tire that seems a little narrow.
Are there sizes that would work and I just don't know about them? I'll take any suggestions and ideas I can get!
