Jeep Grand Cherokee wheels

[El Barto]

I just wonder… I still have a set of 10,5x22” wheels with 42mm offset from my GC SRT. Does some one know wether they coul fit my JT without rubbing while turning? I would not like to order tires and then come to the conclusion that it won’t fit.
At this moment I drive 20” Khan wheels with all terrain tires, but I never go off road. So I would like to have a more sportier tire and rim.
I know I could go with spacers, but then the outside wall would be to much outside the fender, and that’s not allowed over here…

i am having trouble understanding why a heavier "rim" is more sporty. if anything you're making your truck slower and decidedly less sporty

Assuming they are a 22x10.5 with 42mm of positive offset then you have 7.4 inches of backspace. You could easily run a spacer to take up the backspace and stay inside the flares.

Those wheels are forged, so not heavier than my 20” wheels. And the off road tires are so heavy. Road tires would weigh less and steer sharper. (I know : the JT is not a race car…)

Yeah unfortunately you're going to get torched on here for wanting 22s on your Gladiator, but I understand that it's your ride and you do what you want.

The stock Rubicon rim is 17" x 7.5" with a 44mm offset. So obviously 42mm will be fine; however, I'm not sure with a 10.5" rim. For me, I'd take it to a wheel shop and ask to be sure. You don't have to buy from them, but usually the veteran installers can tell you quickly considering it's a popular Jeep. I now see you're in Belgium, so I'm not sure of the wheel shop availability, but that's my advice.

Thanks, but unfortunately here in Belgium they’ve hardly seen a JT at the tire shop…

Yeah the "but wait, he's in Belgium" factor hit me right before I pressed 'post reply'. Ha.
