Default 245/70R17 to 255/75 R17??

If I put 17" stock wheels from a 2015 Wrangler (255/75R17) on a 2012 Grand Cherokee (presently has stock 245/70 R17 with 40k miles) -
Will they stick out more or less and what will this do as far as extra strain on my tranny, etc.?


Wheels are take offs, 5 for $400 with only 600 miles on them.




Thanks


Frank

Welcome to CF!

The difference in width shouldn't matter much (10mm) but the diameter and wheel back-spacing might. You'll have to do the math on that and check your stock back-spacing compared to the Wrangler wheels.

From what I can find, the diameter is about an inch bigger on the Wranglers than on the GC.

Wranglers have an offset of 56 mm??? The GC offset is 44mm???

The offset on your 2012 WK2 is 56.4mm. Go to wk2jeeps.com to learn anything you could possibly need to know about your jeep.
