I am going to put on a 2.5 in lift to my KJ and I want to put on 17 inch wheels with 255/65/17 inch tires. I need to know the correct backspacing to get on my my wheels?
What backspacing should I get??

2.5 inch OME lift ?? OR???
If full spring lift the 7 inches wide and 4 inches of backspacing

I will be using my stock 05 Liberty Limited 17" chrome wheels for the foreseeable future, but want to get larger tires after my 3" lift. Will I be able to use a larger diameter tire with my setup than I would if I bit the bullet and got new rims and tires? Full disclosure: I really like the stock chrome wheels, just not the chrome part. I am considering getting them powder coated.

That chrome cover comes off Jim, or at least looks like the ones on our 05 . If you use a 30-30.5 inch tire you should be fine , depending on how high you end up going.

They're not covers, Tom, it's a solid wheel. No plastic. In my photo, they are pretty dusty.
Thanks.
Thanks.
OH ok thought maybe they were like the ones on our 05 Limited, plastic covers glued onto the wheel

Well, I dunno whether I am more embarrassed or more disappointed. I just went out and gave them a closer inspection and you're right, them damn things are plastic. They did a really good job of foolin' me. Bummer.
