As new cars continue to get older and old cars continue to get newer, it's about time we have a fresh discussion on wheels.

We should establish fitment and some general specs for wheels that can be easily acquired for cheap.

Many here on the forum are aware that the 3rd gen Grand Cherokee uses the 5x5 or 5 x 127 pattern. What do we know about offset, backspacing, etc.?

The 3rd gen Durango (2011+) also uses a 5x5 pattern, with several wheel options in the 18-20 inch range.

Some of the Chrysler Pacificas also used 5x5 and had 19" wheels.

Late model Mopar mini-vans used 5x5, but those wheels are very narrow and only built for soccer-momming.

To get us started, here are a couple of Durango wheels that are cheap on Rock Auto:

18" x 8": More Information for VARIOUS MFR 136570001

20" x 8": More Information for VARIOUS MFR 188320001

Considering alot of modern wheels have a positive offset compared to our cars you would need to use a spacer anyway to make it work. Since you can get spacers in different bolt patterns than what is on your vehicle, you could use basically any wheel with a positive offset.

Where I am both the insurance inspection form and the insurance contract ask: Has the vehicle been modified for speed or performance. Everyone should check their policies for this as lawyers may define your modifications differently than you do.
And you know the insurance lawyers are not on your side.

Wonder what California has to say about spacers, since they are so anal about modifications on vehicles.
