zeitgeist57 Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Posting this for a non-car coworker in Cleveland... She bought her 2006 Jeep Commander V6 with aftermarket rims already installed, and she's getting flat tires from the cheap, corroded rims not seating the tire bead properly anymore. She'd really like to just get some factory wheels/tires...but in a pinch I sad she might as well just get whatever can be bolted to the Commander. Let me know what you have/recommend!

Mitch Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Some info that may be helpful. Commander was a 5 on 5 bolt pattern, stock tires on a sport were 245/65/17. I do not know for certain if the backspacing or tire height will work, but I have a set of 5 similar to these with only 7k miles on them. The tires are 255/75/17 http://i.imgur.com/tCwKaSU.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted December 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Thanks, Mitch...she did tell me that she was talking to a guy in AZ who had Wrangler wheels he was selling on eBay...and they determined those wouldn't work on a Commander???

Mitch Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 could very well be too tall without a lift. 2006 and older wrangler wheels are 5 on 4.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Cheaper yet, take it to a tire shop and have the inboard rim cleaned using a wire wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Don't know about the commander but I sold my wrangler take offs to a lady who put them on an older Cherokee without issues. I have a set of 5 wrangler wheels no tires for cheap if she wants stock wrangler wheels. http://youngstown.craigslist.org/pts/4786476975.html lol go cheaper than the CL price for cr.

iwashmycar Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 ^^that is crazy cheap already. I sold 4 takeoff cherokee wheels on fleaBay for like 200+100 shipping. Went rather quickly too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 eBay can lick my balls. Too many scammers or people working the system for me to bother any more. I bought those wheels as a hold over because I wanted to sell my rubicon wheels. I was planning on putting on snow tires through the winter then listing my rubicon wheels. I already may have a buyer for my rubi wheels and I never got snow tires. Now, I'll probably just sell everything, leave my jeep on jack stands and buy what I want. Not like I can drive anyway, at least not for another month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iwashmycar Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 Arent the Rubis 5x4.5 and all the rest 5x5? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 03-06 rubicons were 5 on 4.5, 07-up are 5 on 5. That wheel design was first used on the rubicons and later on was used on lower end models Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOxley Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 I picked a really nice set of 5x4.5 for my Wrangler for $270 for 5 wheels on Craigslist. So nice I didn't even haggle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
