Jeep Grand Cherokee Bolt Pattern & Most Common Wheel and Tire Sizes

As with many vehicles in the off-road market, finding a wheel and tire setup to fit the Grand Cherokee for off-road usage is surprisingly easy. The Grand Cherokee has had the same 5x5-inch (5x127mm) bolt pattern since 1999, so as long as your desired wheels are compatible with this lug arrangement, you've got a good start already.

Onto specific sizes, most Grand Cherokee drivers will be rocking with 18x9 and 20x9 wheels, although you'll see a good number of people opting for 18x9.5 and 17x8.5 sizes as well. Finding tires to match is pretty simple as well - for the most part, as long as you stay around 32 inch tires to wrap your wheels, you should be fine without needing too much modification on your build. We've seen that the following tire sizes are the most common for Grand Cherokee builds:

  • 275/65
  • 275/60
