Playing with my Bad Attitude (Patriot) (Pic Heavy)

[DaveDees]

Got bored this afternoon, so I decided to experiment with Diablo's old shoes. First off, for those that haven't heard, Diablo is gone and now I have a Bad Attitude. Really it's just a grocery getter, 2010 Jeep Patriot "Latitude" Edition. Hence the name, "Bad Attitude". So far, it's only has 330 miles on it and I've had it for about 2 weeks.

Here's what it looks like:

Anyway, I tried the 300 'C' stockers (18x7.5), same bolt pattern, on my Bad Attitude and this is what it looked like.

Then I tried the Challenger SRT Factory Repros (20x 9) that I had bought.

I just tried them on the back and they both fit pretty good. Though the SRTs will stick out a bit, I'm thinking that the 'C' stockers would fit better, especially on the front. I'll continue to experiment and try them on the front before I decide which ones to use. I'm leaning more towards the stockers cause I want to save the SRTs for my next 300.

Here's a couple of shoots to show the differences:

Of course even though I have the shoes, they still need some new soles on them. But that's a whole other new post. LOL I've also decide that Bad Attitude needs a height adjustment so I plan on maybe going with a 1.5-2.0" drop. (The wife is grinning from ear to ear!!!!!)

To be continued.....

As always, comments are always welcomed.

I love the look of the SRT rims, Dave!

Thank you Paul, the decision has been made the wife, doesn't want them on there cause she's afraid she'll mess them up. I tend to be in agreement with her. LOL I want those for my next 300.

Sweet! I really think those wheels look great on the 300's too!

Good choice but they both LOOK great! Thanks for taking the time to post pics for us! :-)

Those stock 300 wheels will be a huge improvement over the stock Jeep wheels IMHO.

Thank you, Paul, if B DA TUDE wasn't struggling for hps I'd rock the SRTs but as it is, I think the 300C stockers will be enough for it to handle.

Thank you, Charlie. I like them both too. But I'm going to go on the practical side and try the 300 stockers for a while and see how I like them on there. You're welcome!!

Thank you, my original plan was to colormatch the inside of the star on the Jeep rims. Then I had a brain fart when I saw the 300 rims sitting in the garage.
