    1.25" spacers. Did the pinch seam mod and still rubs. Gonna get back at it later. Daystar lift- yes! Wheels are 17x8

    I talked to a jeep out fitting place nearby and discussed putting the Cooper Discoverer STT Pro in a 255/75/17 on my renegade with 1.5" spacers and a daystar lift kit. I am pretty pumped about doing the mod because I think the tires are too skinny and look sucked up in the wheel wells with the stock tires. Going to wait until I need to get new tires but I live on gravel so don't think that will be to terribly long. Still researching on the mod but when I get it done I will try and remember to post pics.

    What are the effects on your gas mileage after doing this?

    So far- no noticeable effect. But- with the taller tires the speedo and odometer are under-indicating by a few percent... so maybe we lost 1-2mpg

    Nice, how much did the setup cost you?

    About $1300 total. $1100 from eBay (which turned out to be a guy on here) to get wheels, tires, daystar lift kit, and spacers. The spacers were wrong. The spacers that worked were BORA from Motorsport-tech.com.

    Sick. I'm going to need to invest in this for sure! It really adds some much needed beef to the Renegades look. When you got the spacers, did you get them in a different bolt pattern or are those rims available in 5x110?

    The rims I have are now 5x110. They have been redrilled though. I don't know by who. I did all the work myself (I'm a tech) not sure how much someone would charge for a job like this. It's not bad though but for sure needs a good alignment tech after. Not someone that just does "toe and go". The wheel well pinch seam mod I had to do a few times to get the wheel wells back far enough outta my way.
