I'm just new to this forum and I need help already! Jimmy is the name of my beloved Grand Cherokee incase you are wondering what Jimmy is in the title of my post!
I have 17" Jeep alloys on now but fancy some bigger ones, the ones I like are from an 06 Grand Cherokee Overland and are 18" with 245/60/R18 tyres on them. They are 5 stud.
My Jimmy is a 51 plate 4.7 V8 and currently I have 235/65/R17 tyres on.
Does anyone know if they will fit? Or where can I find a list of compatible sizes as it is taking me ages on the net with no luck!
Thanks guys and dolls.
Nadine

You're unlikely to find a de-facto answer on here, we're into off-road Jeeps, where we like smaller wheels and fatter tyres, so we don't have much experience of pimped Jeeps. We will help all we can though.

Will post some pics, I wouldn't mind having a go off road, a couple of my friends do green laning and it looks like great fun!
Thanks,
Nadine

I know the bolt pattern is 5 x 127 I just need to find out if the new Grand Cherokee Overland has the same.
As stated above, yes, the bolt pattern is the same.

Do any of you have names for your Jeeps then or is it just me.

I think it's a woman thing. When I first saw the title of the post, I thought you were talking about a GMC Jimmy.
A Jimmy was a large SUV that in later years became a midsize for some reason. Not available in the UK.
There's a post in the "Forum admin" section that tells you how to attach photos.

I recon your right Tim, Tan calls her VW Beetle 'Brian', after the magic roudabout. and she calls my CJ 'the other woman' for some unknown reason
