    Hi my name is Craig and I have bought my first jeep ever. I decided on the jeep renegade for practicality, and hopefully this will be the beginning of a jeep life. I bought a 2015 renegade TrailHawk in white. The dealership where I bought it cut me a deal on a lift so I immediately put a 1.5" daystar lift on it. I have XD Heist rims with 235/65/17 toyo AT2's. I bought a rack for my surfboards and so far I love my Toaster. I joined the forum because when I searched info about the renegade it kept popping up. Now I own one and am excited to try all the mods people are doing. I also hopefully will be able go on some trails with some more experienced Jeepers. Let me know what you think of my Toaster and if there are any fun trails to try in Cali.

    Rad! Can you post side view? I was considering those or the MKW wheels. ImageUploadedByToasterJeep1462223471.576816.jpg

    I will post a side pic soon. Those MKW rims look a lot like the XD's. If I had a choice I would go with whatever's cheaper.

    Very nice! Do you have wheel spacers installed as well? If so what size?

    Very nice! I actually wanted those wheels initially, until they told me I'd have to wait six months to get them.

    I do not have any wheel spacers. Are they easy to install? I was thinking of going with one inch spacers for a more aggressive look.

    From my I standing they are easy to install just make sure you have the correct lug bolts. I was curious with this wheels only have 35offset if you had any rubbing issues with the 235 tires. I have the same color jeep as you minus the TH. But I like those wheels!!! May have to copy that or see what other styles they have!

    So far I have noticed no rubbing issues. I was also surprised to maintain a lot of the tight turning radius.
