I'm looking to see what kind of rims and tires you guys have put on your Rebel. I was looking at prices for Fuel Off Road rims and they said if i got 20X10 rims that could lead to rubbing.
I'm not sure how much you like the color of the skid plate and Ram logo on the grill. But if you were to black those out I think it would really set her right off. Looks good!
I like the 17 inch wheels with the large tires just like cars & trucks used to have. I dont care for the LARGE wheels with small tires. I see some 4 X 4 trucks that have the large wheels with "Rubber Band " looking tires that have about 3 to 4 inches of sidewalls, the Wheels which are expensive have NO PROTECTION from off road rocks, ruts etc. The rubber tire sidewalls offer protection by taking the punishment found off road. The taller the sidewall the better. I just think that these guys who have " ALL RIM " tiny tire sidewalls offer very little protection for the WHEEL RIMS. THE REBEL wheels look great however, i wonder how aftermarket rims such as the 5 spoke American Racing wheels such as the TORQUE THRUST would like on the REBEL ? I like
DEEP RIMS that have 5 spokes and the wheel have a large , deep look that still keeps the tires where they need to be so they dont stick out past the wheel well opening too far and mud flap/ spash guards etc. Would be useful.
I would like to have someone here who can PHOTO SHOP PICYURES to see what different wheels & tires would look like on my " ALL WHITE " no black painted , below the doors 2016 REBEL. I like the looks of deep looking wheels in the 17 inch only size.

Gotta agree with you on preferences. Big rubber looks great on trucks. Small rubber / big wheels is a road racing thing. The wheels are lighter than the equivalent rubber. But you need smooth road for them. I've put that kind of thing on sports cars but it's not always a positive result. Sure, the car is a little quicker, but because of potholes and other problems including a piece of brick on a highway, I've suffered 3 or 4 bent rims and a number of flat tires that would otherwise not have been. One 1" deep pothole taken at 85mph bent both inner and outer lip of one front rim, causing an instant blowout and a rather exciting few seconds, and pretty much cured me of the whole thin tire scene.
I've been looking hard to at putting on 18" wheels if I go to 35" tires. Just because the wheel-to-tire ratio will still be about the same as stock appearance. But I wouldn't consider going bigger than that.
Here's my amazing photoshop skills lol 20x12 fuel maverick, hostage, and throttle I think? On 33's gonna be doing one of these setups or fuel cleavers in the next couple months
Those dont look like the 17's you posted up elsewhere, ditch those ones already? I like these ones also, but they look like bigger wheels. Nice aggressive tread too.
Yes moved up to 20x9 FUEL octane wheels and 33 12.5 20 federal tires .Looks great with ride quality trade off . side bars are LUND W shape bar . Fender flares are from flare one .
thanks
New to the forum, I got a new rebel yesterday. Drove it straight to the tire shop and installed 20" rockstar 2 rims and slightly larger Toyo tires. (forget the size) but they are roughly 1" taller than stock and 1/2 narrower.
Looks great, any issues? Looking at -12mm using my stock tires.
