    I'm not in the best mood today because I live in Illinois and it sucks here, but why can't any of these legit off road wheels like these be made for Renegade trailhawk??? No offense but all the aftermarket wheels I see on here suck and look like some shit off fast and furious.

    I agree that everything made in the correct bolt pattern belongs on a car, I hope that changes in the near future. Surely there are enough Renegade guys out there that at least one company could justify making a bitchin' looking set of offroad wheels with the right bolt pattern and offset to not have to use spacers.

    I have spacers now, not opposed to spacers. I just don't want to have to use adapters for different bolt pattern.

    Yeah. I would love to get some wider tires. The stock rim/wheels are much too narrow for my tast

    Probably because not enough customers have asked for them. 5 on 110mm for SUVs is new, only since the 2014 Cherokee has this bolt pattern been used on a 4x4.

    I've e-mailed Wheel Vintiques about some of their +32mm 16" steel wheels and if they can offer a custom offset. They have smoothies and five-hole models in steel for the HHR and other cars. They're probably best in a position to make a custom offset as they already offer custom offsets on their RWD wheels for vintage muscle cars

    Since the stock offset on a 6.5" wide wheel is about 40mm, if they could get the offset down to about 15mm that would essentially take an inch off, which would place the tire where the 1" spacer ultimately places the tire. Designed right it should clear the brakes too. An 8mm offset would be approximately the same as a 1.25" spacer.

    I would like a 16" by 6.5" or 16" by 7" with a 15mm offset. That should accommodate a 235/65-16 tire, which is the same 28" height as the stock 215/65-17 on a Trailhawk. It might allow even a 255/60-16, if such a tire is made. A 215 (stock) is basically 8.5" wide. A 235 is 9.3" wide, and a 255 is 10" wide.

    The height is the real problem, it may not be practical to go much taller. I found a chart of tires organized into what their sizes effectively mean for height and width...

    16" diameter wheels:

    28" Tire Diameter
    195/80R16 = 28.3x7.7R16
    205/75R16 = 28.1X8.1R16
    205/80R16 = 28.9x8.1R16
    215/75R16 = 28.7x8.5R16
    225/70R16 = 28.4x8.9R16
    235/65R16 = 28x9.3R16
    255/60R16 = 28x10R16

    29" Tire Diameter
    225/75R16 = 29.3x8.9R16
    235/70R16 = 29x9.3R16
    235/75R16 = 29.9x9.3R16
    245/70R16 = 29.5x9.7R16
    255/65R16 = 29.1x10R16
    275/60R16 = 29X10.8R16
    285/60R16 = 29.5X11.2R16

    30" Tire Diameter
    215/85R16 = 30.4x8.5R16
    235/80R16 = 30.8x9.3R16
    245/75R16 = 30.5x9.7R16
    255/70R16 = 30.1x10R16
    265/70R16 = 30.6x10.4R16
    285/65R16 = 30.6X11.2R16
    30X11.5R16

    17" diameter wheels:
    28" Tire Diameter
    155/90R17 = 28X6.1R17
    165/90R17 = 28.7X6.5R17
    215/65R17 = 28x8.5R17 STOCK SIZE Trailhawk
    215/70R17 = 28.9x8.5R17
    225/65R17 = 28.5x8.9R17
    235/60R17 = 28.1x9.3R17
    245/60R17 = 28.6X9.6R17
    255/55R17 = 28x10R17
    275/55R17 = 28.9x10.8R17

    29" Tire Diameter
    225/70R17 = 29.4x8.9R17
    235/65R17 = 29x9.3R17
    245/65R17 = 29.5x9.7R17
    255/60R17 = 29x10R17
    265/60R17 = 29.5x10.4R17

    30" Tire Diameter
    225/75R17 = 30.3x8.9R17
    235/70R17 = 30x9.3R17
    235/75R17 = 30.9x9.3R17
    245/70R17 = 30.5x9.7R17
    255/65R17 = 30.1x10R17
    265/65R17 = 30.6x10.4R17
    275/60R17 = 30x10.8R17
    285/60R17 = 30.5X11.2R17

    I have no idea if tires up into the 30" diameter would fit or not, but there you go if you want to do some math and/or play around...
