Looking good!
What tire did you go with? Did it change the comfort of the ride?

No change in ride comfort. 19” tire size really close to my stock size diameter. Just feels a little more planted with the wider stance. Tires are American RoadStars..

That's it! Im going with that tire size for my new set. I have the 19" Lariat wheels and I was thinking about getting some beefier tires. Thanks for sharing, it looks great!

You’re welcome

I was thinking about going to a 205/80R17 and keeping my steel rims. I would increase tire pressure to 45PSI to offset narrower tire tread indent. This would increase wet/ snow traction with very minimal loss of dry traction. My driveline will be out of warranty at the life expectancy of my original continental pro contact tires. My truck will never see any full load capacity or pull a trailer

That's really a lot of tire for a 7" wheel. Sure, it will fit. But you should really have an 8-9" wheel for that size tire if you want it to work well.

I have this size tire on my Mav as well.

Could you provide a link to those exact wheels I absolutely love those. I have searched the web and cannot find them.

Hi, just curious who you ordered your wheels through. I'm stationed overseas and generally deal with Discount Tire but they have for whatever reason blocked access(as far as i can tell) to IP's that originate from outside CONUS. I guess I could use a VPN but if you have someone already familiar with these trucks I'd rather go that route.

What is the offset on those rims?

Are they XL (extra load) rated?

Ditto, looks great and Cherokee, your timing is perfect as I had just asked if anyone with 19s had gone with a wider tire size than the 225/65-19s that are stock. I have Lariat wheels coming from another member and wanted to go wider but the next question for JCS and I, is that tire size too wide for a 7.5 inch wheel as yours are 8.5 and just right for that.

Just looked up that tire size and here is the recommended wheel size: So JCS and I are good to go.

RIM WIDTH RANGE

7.0" - 8.5"
