How will this setup work on my 07 Lib?

[jayhat]

I have a 2007 Liberty Sport. I want these wheels and tires, how will this setup work ... it is not lifted btw.

Rock Crawler Series 51 16x8, 5 on 4.5 Bolt Pattern

with BF Goodrich All terrain's 235/70QR16

Will there be any rubbing or any problems?

Those rims are to wide for those tires,you'll ruin the tires,get the 7" rims if you want to run 235's.And you'll most likely need to pound the pinchweld down(rear of the front wheel well)if your not lifted.The OEM rims are 16x7 with 5.5" of BS,those steel rims are most likely 5" of BS and 1" wider and will cause rub,drop to a 7" rim with 4.5" BS and you'll do much better,still may rub but not as much as the 8" rims.

Ok so these Rock Crawler Series 51 - 16x7, 5 on 4.5 Bolt Pattern Backspacing = 4 in.

Will that be enough backspace?

Holy crap, why does the Liberty have to be so picky.

 

[hawaiianbasshead]

Why don't you just put the 235/70/16 BF Goodridge All Terrain tires on a set of factory stock aluminum 16X7 wheels? They are engineered by Chrysler and won't give you a headache!
Unless you want to go for a totally different look?
Just a question!

 

[LibertyOrDeath]

If you have the stock aluminum rims and want some black steel rims I will be more than happy to paint my rims black and trade

I dont have the really basic wheels and I dont have the nice gunmetal wheels. I guess I just have mid grade wheels. I think I'm just going to keep them and get tires. I just like how black wheels look.

So 235/70/16's should be good on the stock wheels and I shouldnt rub??

 

[LibertyOrDeath]

Yeah, they will fit.

 

[jelohead]

235/70 is the same as 225/75.....no rubbing...i did it...both are approximately 29"
those stock wheels will take a 235/70 just fine

You can mount up to a 265/75 on a 16x7 rim(what I am running right now,even states on the tire to mount on a 7" rim),235/70 are a optional tire size for any KJ,my KJ originally came with 235/75's from the factory.

Well to be fair your Jeep was taller from the factory.

Yes it was but the 235/70's where still being put on KJ's until the KK came out,mostly on limited's or part of some option package.You can mount up to 245/70's on a totally stock(unlifted) KJ on the stock rims with no/very,evry slight rubbing.

If you have a KJ built before April 12th 2002 you can mount 245/75's on the stock rims(I know I did it) since they sat 3/4" higher then the KJ's built after april 12th 2002.
