Which rim?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

The Exodus is not longer made in the 5X108 pattern, so I may have to look for something else.

These three looked good to me. What ya think? These all have a 40mm offset.

18 by 7.5"

18 by 7.5 inch

18 by 8 inch

And how would 20" rims do in 7.5" with 40mm offset?

Would they fit without rubbing?

Wich one is the exodus?

vvvv for wheel fitment.

I have 19x8.5 with a 47 offset and 225/35/19 tires. That site says it should be ok on most vehicles. However even though it was only 3 mm wider im going to have to use a 3mm spacer. The wheels contact both the brake bracket and the metal thing that connects to the uca.

if you get 225/40/20 you will be oem spec minus you'll fill out the fender another 6mm. Not a big deal.

This is the Exodus:

I spoke with JK and they have it in a 20" by 8.5" with 40mm.

no no no. Some black rims look good but most dont.imho

That said. When talking fitment its all about the tire size once you have the right offset.

So an 8.5" wide with 40mm will be okay though?

I'll go with the chrome 5 spoke. Simple with alot of bling. Add some 235/45/18's and your set.

with a 225 tire.

CORRECTION: I said earlier that mine were 3 mm closer. I meant to say .3" closer, 11 mm. Glad i didnt order my spacers yet, i even had my self fooled.

18x7.5 would be to thin for my taste. I do like the black one

Well 20 by 8.5" in black have been ordered. $90 each since they could not complete my 18" order.

We will see how they look. I think on the Opal Mark they will look good, but if not its nothing to re-paint then silver or something.

I am not a fan of chrome, its everywhere now.
