Hi, Im a total rookie at doing car work but want to upgrade to some beefier/bigger wheels for some mild off-roading several times a year.
2007 Jeep Liberty Limited:
Rims 17x7.5
Current Tire: 235/65R17
Questions:
1. I was hoping to upgrade to a 245/70R16 tire size but I now believe that is impossible without changing the rims. Am I correct in assuming that tire wont fit due to my 17x7.5 rim?
2. If I am correct that it wont fit then what is the biggest tire I can upgrade to on my current rim? (If even possible)
3. What all terrain tires should I consider if I have to stay the same size tire? Unfortunately the Firestone Destination A/T are the best I can find in my current size so far, I would like General Grabber AT2's.
4. So if I can't get the 245/70R16 on my current rim what is the LEAST amount of modifications to make them work? Im okay with minor rubbing like the wiki said. I need backspacers I guess??? Do I need them for both the front and back? I also would have to buy new rims obviously. Where can I find "16x8" Jeep Wrangler Rubicion wheels (Moab Wheels)" as recommended in the wiki?
Links to products Id need would be very appreciated. Thanks in advance! Glad to be here! :signs75:
