Hi,

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.

Welcome to the forum Nadine :lol:

PCD is the same, so they will go on, and the offsets are within 10mm of each other. As to whether they will rub - probably not, but you pays your money, you takes your choice.

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.

Thanks guys, I've made a bit of progress too today. I know the bolt pattern is 5 x 127 I just need to find out if the new Grand Cherokee Overland has the same.

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

As stated above, yes, the bolt pattern is the same.

Thanks guys, wish me luck. Do any of you have names for your Jeeps then or is it just me.

Pics soon when I work out how to do it. Posting on here was hard enough..... but I am a good driver though!

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
