Wow, that looks really cool!

Did the wrangler 15" really fit? Nice look with the lift kit and big tires.

 

looks great

nice work, can't wait to see the bumper...

 

yeah details on those 15's please. did you have to use a spacer for them to clear the calipers?

 

Looks good. How do the rims fit? Can't wait to see the bumper!!

Here are his pics...I hate clicking links:

 

I didn't have to use spacers or anything... they just fit.

 

Dude, those rims are awesome, I think I found what I'm gonna get this winter!

 

Haha thanks for all the positive feedback everyone! I love how my vehicle looks and I'm glad you all approve!

 

DO WANT! :wow:

Especially the bumper. But those tires look very nice too!

 

What is the width and offset of those wheels?

 

Off topic:

Jeremy, Is that the authentic Canadian Maple syrup i hear such good things about in your avatar? It looks way tastier than Mrs Butterworth

 

haha..Ya epper:

 

what is the size running on this wheel?m very sharp look!

 

I like the 15" rims...I'd be interested in seeing a picture of what you had to trim

 

I bought some generic steel 16" rims for our jeep instead of 15" (Didn't think they would fit). I used 225x 16 BF Goodwrench A/Ts for rubber.
The 17 rims limited my choice of tires (size wise w/o a lift) and frankly, the 17" rims are terrible. While they look nice, the funny grooves inside the wheels are mud and snow magnetes, and it made our jeep shake at speeds over 45MPH. I used to keep a long screwdriver in the car to scrape snow/ice off in the winter and mud/dirt this summer.
The rims were only 80.00 each and while it dosn't look as nice, I don't have to stop and scrape junk off the rims before I get on the highway anymore.
I think I might up grade to some baby mud terrains if I every lift it.

 

What size tires are you running??? I wanted to put 15 inch, but didn't know if it would fit....I might have a set of 4 tires for very cheap from a friend...

 

-2002 Chrysler Intrepid R/T (Daily driver)
-2000 Chrysler Intrepid R/T (Weekend car / show car)(Stored)

You crazy Canadians with your "Chrysler" Intrepids. The pic of the silver one does look great though!

 

I wonder if his Patriot has 4 wheel disc or if it has drums in the back. What I heard was that the 15's won't fit on vehicles with 4 wheel discs.

 

I have 4 wheel disk and the 15's fit fine.

 

Looks great!

what size tires are those JeepinLG?

 

According to Jeepforum, these are Ravine wheels off a TJ

Ravine

* 15x8 aluminum
* 5 on 4.5" bolt pattern
* Backspacing = 5.5"
* Optional wheel with 30" tire package
* Offset = +25 mm

 

I wonder how to get these?

 

You will find that some of 15" alloy wheels will fit where steel rims won't.
This wheel combo looks great.

 

I love the look of that set.
I've been seriously considering something along the same lines, and now you've convinced me.

 

any interest in selling your old alloy rims/tires?

 

Finally got it all put together! Here are a couple of low quality pics from my phone. More to come though!

I found a guy downstate that builds SEMA vehicle parts. I'm having the front steel patriot bumper made this winter. I'm also blacking out parts of the vehicle. I'll let you know more when I get it all put together!

To fit those tires, I actually had to trim the plastic away from the factory welds near the back side of the front wheel wells. I found they're sealed tight though, so I just covered them up with some hi quality marine sealent.

The pictures do no justice to how much the upgrades really do positively influence the look of the vehicle.

The guy that builds SEMA parts can he get or make that 2.5" Lift, If he could i would think about purchasing it; the Bumper as well.

 

That's been a topic of discussion for along time around here.
The SEMA bumper and roof rack are not available anywhere.

It will require custom work to get em. Although there is a thread about someone that is working on a bumper that sounds like it may be close to the SEMA one.

 

how much are you going to pay for the sema bumper

 

Come on Navy....he meant where to get them at a REASONABLE rather AFFORDABLE price. Everyone knows you can get them at the dealership for the cost of a kidney.

 

Amen!

 

What size are the freaking tires??? There sheen 3 dudes asking for the size......
