I finally did it. After countless hours of looking for wheels that will actually fit the WK2, I took the plunge and bought the following wheel/tire combination:

What I drive: 2011 WK2 Overland Summit Edition, 3.6L Pentastar V6, QL

18" KMC XD778 Monster wheels, Matte Black, 18x9,+35 offset.

Tires: Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac LT275/65/18.

Dont forget to pick up 14x1.5 lug nuts. The OEM ones are too fat for these wheels...

I just got back from getting them mounted! Here is the before and after:















No rubbing at all at normal vehicle ride height. At park there is only a few mm of clearance but I dont do too much moving around at slow speeds in park. FIRE AWAY GUYS/GALS!!

Looks great. Any difference in handling and road noise?
They are a little wider than the stock 265's and the tread pattern is very agressive so there is a hum, but nothing that will fatigue you on long hauls... As far as handling, I have not noticed too much of a difference... Maybe a little stiffer ride, due to the beefed up sidewalls on the duratracs.
