Default What about on the 16 x 7 from my x

My X has the 16 x 7 wheel. About a half inch more narrow than you guys. It doesn't sound like much differance, but if you are pushing at the limit I might be going over it. ??

I would just try to find someone's 17 stock take offs when they switch to aftermarket wheels that way you don't have to worry

I just checked some auction sites and you have a good idea. They are cheap! I want to find some close so I can pick them up since shipping is about as much as the wheels.

Thanks for the good advice.

I just battled with the dealership regarding a broken LF axle. They blamed it on the 35's. They said they were "Beyond Chrysler Specifications" and therefore not covered under the warranty. After a week of talking to all kinds of different people at Chrysler and the dealership they finally agreed to cover it.

Ran 35" BFG AT's for about 12K miles... no issues. Definitely get a good quality spacer (at least 1")
