DT, no rubs yet, but I haven't had it out on the road. It looks to be AOK.

RC, I considered that tire but decided on something as close to stock as possible. Light weight, keep my factory spare/jack and less mud slung up the sides. I do like the KM2's!

Thoughts, awesome experience from discounttire.

Zero rubbing with this combination 235/75/15, its 7lbs lighter per wheel than my previous setup, and its noticeable in a good way. My Compass feels a bit lighter on it's feet. I can't wait to see how I can do offroad with these new shoes, it's been a while since I've had such aggressive tires.

That is one good looking compass Tyler-98-W68! Do you plan on doing a roof rack?

I need something for my spare tire, roofrack or hitch mounted spare tire carrier, i'm still undecided. It's a shame RRO doesn't have a rack system for the 2011+ Compass yet, I like their roof racks.

I love em!! I have never liked black wheels. I have to have a 2 tone to help it and those wheels by far have to be my favorite that I have seen in some time. I love the look of them! Those are my target for when I get new wheels.

This might have already been covered but what are you guys doing about your speedometer? Are you taking it to the desler to get adjusted or what?

Yep, they might charge you $110 bucks though...if they're nice and you paid them for the install maybe they'd do it for free?

Just a thought to those going to 15" rims. If you ever end up in super gooey gravelly mixed mud you might get stones between your rim and brake calipers.

not to bad on this side of the rim


Much worse on this side.


Not saying not to get 15" rims the benefits far outweigh the cons just be prepared to drive slowly for a bit so you don't mess up a brake caliper. I had a nice puddle I drove through that dislodged most everything.

They can only adjust it as high as the largest stock tire. That's it. so no point in paying them any $ to do nothing.

They can adjust a parameter called pinion factor which will accommodate to any tire size, according to my dealer. And I checked their work with GPS. Although I'm pretty close to a stock tire size.

15x7 ET0 MB TKO mounted with the 225/75-15 General Grabber AT2
Notes: This set up may fit non lifted Patriots IF the owner is willing to cut the pinch weld and trim the fender liner in the front fenders. No rear fender modification is required.

Anybody tried this size on a nonlifted Patriot? I'm looking at this exact setup for my nonlifted 2012 FDI. I have no problem doing the PWM.

is there someplace that has the weights of the wheel options? I can get the tire weights but can't seem to find the wheel weights.

I want to keep the same weight as stock 17" combo or go lower for the 15" combo with an AT tire.

thanks!
