Are you looking for the best rims for a Jeep® Wrangler? You want rims that offer the perfect balance between durability, functionality, and aesthetic. As much as you want your Jeep to stand out, you still need to consider how you use your vehicle since the type of rims you choose can affect their function.
How to Find Rims for Jeep Wrangler
To find the right rims for your Jeep Wrangler, you first need to know your current rims’ measurements. Not all Jeep Wrangler rims fit every model, so find out which SUVs have cross-generational compatibility.
If you plan to take your Jeep off-road, look for rims that support that type of use and can take on mud and rough terrain. Keep in mind your Jeep model’s year, too. Any Jeep Wrangler from 2007 or later will need 5×5-inch rims instead of the 5×4.5-inch measurements of previous generations.
What to Know Before You Buy
Most rims are made of steel or alloy. While alloy rims work well for most vehicles, off-road activity needs something heavier. Steel rims mean a longer life for your wheels.
Make sure you have the right rim size for the right tires, too as discrepancies here can be genuinely dangerous. You should also keep in mind the offset and backspacing, especially if you plan to raise your Jeep. The wrong measurements can create rubbing, which wears out your tires faster.
Another note for the off-road fans—beadlocks will keep your tires on the rim. However, you should only use them off-road, as they can fail if you drive too fast, and their heavyweight leads to heavy use for your vehicle.
