I have a 08 Patriot with 16inch tires. I would like to put 17inch tires with alloy rims. Is it better to go to dealer? Any suggestions?

He is selling them as a set. Might be worth looking into.

Dealer will want something like $300+ per wheel and another $150 per tire. Find something used, like Jeepster55's or Craig's List or Ebay. Maybe work something out with DrugRunR if you don't want the full sized spare and you could have a whole set with tires for $600 maybe.
