So I just ordered my KK Limited 4x4 and I upgraded to the premium II package which includes the 18" x 7.0" wheels and P235/60/R18 tires. I want to upgrade to a better selection of wheels/tires for off-roading and snow traction. What would I need to do to get the 16" wheels and better tires? I'm looking into the BFG's A/T.

Stock wheels on the Sport is 16" x 7.0 and P225/75/R16. Can the Limited handle the extra width of the 75 (almost an extra 28 mm), if I were to get 225/75 or do I need a slight lift? If I were to get new wheels will that affect the TPMS? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!

Also should I get 2 sets of wheels, one for off-roading/snow and one for everyday/performance use? I really didn't want the 18's but they came as a package and the dealer wouldn't trade them for 16's.

You can only run your TPMS sensors in the wheels if you run an OEM style wheel. There are some companies releasing TPMS friendly wheels, but they're mostly sports car type stuff...and pricey. Most wheels the sensor hangs out way too far, and either during mounting or in the event of a flat, it can be broken...so I say just deal with the light being on
