    I'm putting together a spare tire for my Renegade (Latitude). Does anyone know if the 17"steel wheel for the Dodge Dart will work on the Renegade? I know the bolt pattern is the same, just want to know if it will clear the calipers. Thanks...

    I guess nobody knows the answer. I don't either but I used the 16" steelies and I needed spacers.

    The 16" wheels have a much better selection of all terrain tires. There's very little available in 17".

    BTW if you do buy spacers, you can use them to get away from the stock bolt pattern and widen your choice of wheels.

    I've seen others who've used them and they seemed to work just fine.

    I went ahead and got one of these wheels to put a spare together and it is a perfect fit - 5x110, 65.1 hub bore and easily clears the calipers. So anyone looking for 17" steel wheels, these work.

    Here's the finished product. I re-used the bolt and washer that was holding the foam piece in place. I installed the tire with the outside facing down and added the necessary tools:

    I then put the JEEP cover back in, but upside down so that the front edge would not interfere when raising/lowering the back seats:

    And then the top cover. Done.

    With the spare installed with the outside down, I still have a lot of room in the wheel well for more "stuff", if needed.
