okay so I put another set of wheels on the patriot. So far since new I have had a set of dodge intrepid wheels and a set of mitsubishi eclipse wheels on it. Now I had a set of jeep grand cherokee wheels in the barn but figured since the patriot was front wheel drive they wouldnt fit. I knew the bolt pattern would fit and since curiousity got the best of me I went ahead and put them on. I like it! they are 16 inch with bf goodrich all terrains. They dont rub and I havent done my lift kit yet. Just thought some of you with the factory steel rims may like to know about this in case you want to maybe find a nice set from a salvage

Sounds good but I thought Grand Cherokee's bolt pattern was larger. I would like to see pics of the wheels.

REALLY? a "96" TJ? gotta see THAT one! :p

ALSO, I believe that should read "92-98 Grand Cherokees (ZJ)". those are all 5-4.5" BUT are all 15" wheels.

ps... offset and backspace correlate to one another right? is there a minimum number for one or the other for a 16x7 " rim, and a 16x8" rim... Seems everyone runs a 5" bs with the 16x8 and a 4.5 with the 16x7, is this accurate? I dont want the wheels to stick out from the fenders too much because of inspection issues.

ps this looks similar to the Moab, I think similar dimensions as well.
