Hey everyone!

New Jeep Patriot owner here looking for some help. I've looked at a lot of different wheels and still can't find the "right pair." I've gone to a dealer and they said their wheels wouldn't work due to the offset or something it might void the warranty. I've done some research online, read some charts here on the forum and still can't figure It out. I guess I really don't understand the sizing so maybe someone will be kind enough to help me.

I have a 2017 Patriot in black. I replaced all the chrome badges with black ones and looking to tint my windows and add a brush guard as well. I just purchased and mounted some 215/70/R16 Cooper Discoverer AT3s.

I'd really like to continue customizing my Pat with some black 16 inchers. I'm looking for the correct size of Blackrock 997 or Cragar Soft 8s but all the sizing is confusing to me. If anyone could tell me what I need I'd deeply appreciate it.

Ps. I was contemplating buying the black wheel skins that clip on over the OEM wheels, but I do a little off-roading (mainly off trail to get to my hunting spots) and I fear they'd probably just fall off.


Again thanks for any information, looking forward to being part of the community and sharing pictures of the finished product.

That wheel will work it has a 0mm offset vs the factory offset of 39mm which means the wheel itself will be pushed out farther from the center of the vehicle, similar to what using spacers do. Do you have a link to the wheels in question. 8" wide wheels may be a bit wide for such a narrow tire like 215 width though

For some reason I can't get the link to work, I attached a picture of the specs.
 
I misread, those are 16x7 wheels with 0mm offset those should be fine I ran 15x7 0mm offset wheels. Only other question is the centerbore diameter thats the actual hole in the wheel. You want 67.1MM for a perfect fit on the hub.
