Stu Coils installed, pinch weld hammered in and the Riot wrapped on some 245/75/16 BFG KO2's. Negative offset aftermarket MB Wheels, had to trim a little of the inner wheel well plastics.

Im too new they wont let me post pics yet. Slapped on some 245/75/16 BFG KO2's they look so nice! Check them out on my profile.

Might want to add a spacer lift so you don't rip out a fender liner at full compression. Or is it staying on the street?

245/75/16 have been put on patriots before, they do fit with the right offset wheel, the problem is they are incredibly heavy. They weigh 48lbs + weight of wheels, so you are probably pushing 70lbs for each wheel and tire. They do look sweet though.

According to a random calculator I chose they're 30.5" tall and 9.65" wide. I suppose those might clear but I thought Sandstone just barely cleared his 30x9.5's and even my tires are within an inch or so of rubbing and they're just under 28"...although I do have all the swaybars disconnected...

those tires look real mean on the riot!

I SWAPPED OUT THE COILS, I GOT STU COILS ON RIGHT NOW. SO THE COMPRESSION ISNT MUCH THEY ARE SUPER STIFF BUT RIDES SWEET NONE THE LESS. ABOUT THE INNER FENDER I HAMMERED IN THE PINCH WELD, SO IM BARELY GETTING ANY RUBB IN THE INNER FENDER. ILL DO A LITTLE 4X BUT THESE LIL JEEPS AINT MADE FOR CRAWLIN ANYTHING ANYWAYS. MY MB WHEELS ARE WAY LIGHTER THEN THE OEM WHEELS SO IT COMPENSATES FOR THE EXTRA WEIGHT THE TIRES CARRY.

You'd be surprised what they can do. Just be careful at full compression, my tires are just under 28" in diameter and there's maybe 1/2" at full compression before they would rub. I also have my swaybars disconnect but if you flexed it hard enough or had enough weight you might stuff the tires.

Hey guys, so i'm interested in getting the craggier soft 8's and general grabbers for my patriot. I watched a youtube video entitled "Jeep Patriot Rims and Tires" and in it, he says his wheels weren't compatible with the TPMS and he had to deal with his low tire light being on all the time. I would rather not deal with this and was curious if the cragar soft 8's were compatible with the TPMS?

 

[rcguymike]

Work fine on mine. All it is is an inductively/maybe kinetically powered sensor attached on the back of the valve stem that relays info to the computer...nothing that has to do with the rim...maybe a special valve stem.

 

[Jbridg87]

Awesome, I think what he was saying in the video was that they somehow didn't fit into the rim he had bought.

 

[the_jeep_now]

They fit and function just fine. I had Unique 297 rims which are identical to Soft 8's and TPMS worked flawlessly.

Hi All just had my stus lift kit fitted. Love it already but need help with tyres can anybody advise me on tyre sizes without spaces or Pwm (which I gather is knock the f### out of the pinch weld)
Thinking 225 70 17 diameter of 747mm 29ish inches

 

[Tyler-98-W68]

I"ve been thinking more about the 225/70/17 size lately, seems the wider tires require the PWM and spacers, I do know 1 member here ran that size, i'll have to try and find some pictures.

Looks good, I always liked that style of 18" wheel that the Compass had the option to get.

Tyres on 225 70 17 fit slightest rub on full lock only complaint is the camber on the rear is all fooked up and I need to buy new adjustable arms to rectify, no mention of that from stu! Cheers!
