I just purchased a 2008 liberty and found in the snow the stance feels really narrow and unstable. I'm wondering if I should get 1.5" wheel spacers or Cragar soft 8 wheels? What's the difference between the two and how they affect the jeep? Which would be better for stability? Thank you for your help! |

Some think it helps but in reality not that much Better tires help more than any thing else you can do good set of tires with the snow designation help a ton PLUS wider wheels/ spacers will not work so well unless you are lifted |

I have snow tires with great tread. I am really just looking to wider my stance. I believe the cragar soft 8s are a wider wheel but I can't how much wider they are then my stock wheels. Do you know how much wider cragar is compared to stock? |

Depends on what size you get but most that fit on a LIFTED Kk are 4 inches of backspacing and 7 inches wide. BUT you'll not run them cause they will rub on the flares and when turning Have you ever owned a KK before or driven anything like this in the snow? What type of tires do you have ? |
