For those ordering new wheels, are you doing 4 or 5 wheels? Ordered a Firecracker Red sport and have 35s already but need new wheels as the gf wants my current ones. Will a nice new custom wheel get ruined underneath? Still would like to do the 5 tire rotation.

I plan to get 5 wheels and tires and get the spare in rotation... Unless you plan to do some serious rock crawling you should be fine!

I did 4 but it was purely a cost thing. My spare is the factory mud tire on a plain black rim. Both are 33 and will be fine till I could get a flat repaired. Fingers crossed this doesn’t backfire. Factory and new wheels are different sizes so I couldn’t get another tire.

I'm just going to buy one of the OEM cast off alloy wheels for dirt cheap that is probably a better wheel than 99% of the chinkalloy aftermarket wheels and then I'll have 5.

I wonder if the TPMS monitor will recognize 5 wheels, hmmmmm
