Excellent thread. Post em up guys.

 

Any reason to whore out some pictures of my Patriot is cool with me!

The wheels are Mod Tech 229 16x6.5. I forget the ofset but I think it's the same as factory. In order for the center caps to clear I had to run 5/16" spacers in the front. I put the same spacers in the back just for conguency.

The tires are 225/75/16 Falken High County A/T. my Patriot has a RRO lift now but the tires didn't rub pre-lift.

This tire and wheel combo is only slightly heavier than stock but provided >1" of additional ground clearnance.

Let's keep the wheel pics coming!

HAHAHAHAH THIS COMMENT MADE ME SPRAY ORANGE JUICE FROM MY NOSE....THANKS FOR THE GOOD LAUGH

 

For a year I had 16'' OE steel rims from '06 Liberty with stock GY LS2.

Now I have Unique 297 (part# 297--7712) 16x7, 5x4.5, 0 offset, 4'' backspacing, 3.3 center bore, approx 35lbs wrapped in 225/70/16 Yokohama Geolandar A/T-S which is 28.3".

 

Hi, haven't used this forum so not sure if I'm doing this correctly but I've just seen this wheel/tyre combination and wanted to know if there are any issues with it? As in rubbing, speed changes Etc?

Thanks

Nice rim!!!!! I decide to paint mind gun metal:

 

Stock Firestone Affinity with my newly painted stock 17s

 

I was thinking about trying this again. The thing I hate though is that the dip is darker than the tires so it looks really strange.. If I was to do this again I think i would only pain the inside of the wheels and not the trim. Kind of like the other alloys that came on the Patriot. Any ideas???

Is there any rubbing? Factory Offset? I'm new to the forum. Had my Patriot about a month. 09 4wd sport. Just looking to set it off some. Yours looks great.

 

215 / 60 / 17

 

Here is my summer combination:

League 208 Nocturne rims (17" 8J ) with general Grabber UHP 235/65/17.

And here is my winter combo:

OEM rims 17" with Matador Nordicca 235/55/17

 

Sport Edition D-5 Wheels and a set of Continental Eco Plus 215-65-16 tires ($900 w/shipping from Tire rack.com)

 

Wow, Alainsrt4, that is about the nicest Compass I have seen!! Your Compass came together nicely, from the lowered look to the rims. The gun metal color for the rims was an excellent choice vs black that everyone else does. I would probably paint the calipers as a finishing touch. Nicely done.

 

My center rotor and caliper will be done this week end.

Very nice thread and rim picture!

 

newbee here

So i bought a 2012 north edition in april and here the pictures of my set up. The wheels are forte f50 twisted and the tire are 275/40/20 wanli s-1088 was on my dodge nitro last year so with a center ring it fit .They rub when the wheels are turn to max but can live with it until tire are done.

 

I choose the 18x8.0 PCD 5x114.3 (5x4.5) ET42, 6.2"BS KMC 775 Rockstars rims, 225/55/18 Hankook Optimo H727 for the tires.

This thread is a runaway success!

Alainsrt4, you have the most bad @$$ compass I've ever seen!
nitro-power, those are the widest tires I’ve seen on a Patriot!

Many of you guys need to get some photos up on the Patriot of the month thread....

 

480,

Love those Rockstars. Please post a picture of the entire Jeep. Those are perfect if you live in Texas.

 

Thank you TWOTWELVES!! here is a picture of the whole jeep

Cooper Discoverer AT3 235/65/R17 on stock 17" rims, non-lifted FD1 4x4. Originally rubbed at full lock but fixed by pounding inner wheel well back.

 

Nice Tires, great choice !!!!!!!!!!!

 

I went 225/70 Cooper Discoverer LSX's with 16x8 Unique 297'd with Black Cragar caps. It gives the pat a little bit wider of a stance with the 16x8 rims.

 

epper:

16" American Racing AR890 wearing General Grabber HTS 225/70s

I was slightly disappointed by the offset of the wheels until I put them on...Looks mean now

The new tires are definitely quieter, wayyyyy smoother being LRR tires, and much softer due to the larger sidewall.

Do you have a lift kit as well?

 

very nice set up

 

I really like those wheels!! If I had the spare change thats exactly what id get.

 

Hi JamesNewJeep,

Really love your combo (wheels and tires). You think it is possible to place a picture of the whole car in sunlight? Now your wheels are almost invisible due to the shade.

 

Monday I can, yes. Hoping to get in some plastidipping this week too.
