Wheel and Tire Help, 2014 250 FSport
So last night we get home from vacation. While driving down the interstate I hit a pot hole and blow the left front tire. That was fun changing on the side of the road! Not only did it blow the tire it bent the wheel as well! So... stock height IS250. What is the biggest we can go without issues? Don' want a crappy ride, want same size front and rear (of possible) and what backspacing? Don' really want to roll fenders but worst case I can. Would like a deep lip wheel as well. What are our options?

Sorry to hear about the wheel...that must have been on hell of a pothole.
What is the biggest we can go without issues? To keep it simple, 19 inch is the biggest you would want to go. 8.5 width on the front and 9.5 on the rear
Don' want a crappy ride, want same size front and rear (of possible) and what backspacing? If you want same size front and rear, then 19X8.5 +35 offset would be you go to.
Don' really want to roll fenders but worst case I can. You can't...the rear is factory rolled and the front you might get a little roll out of it
Would like a deep lip wheel as well. What are our options? It you want same size front and rear, this will be very difficult...you would need to look at staggered wheels to get that lip, especially in the rear.

We might do that. We were going to put new wheels on it but we keep having issues with it so not sure we want to keep it or trade it in. We own a Jeep shop and my wife is really wanting a Jeep.
