There doesn't seem to be allot of options for the Libby in wheels if you want to keep dimensions in check.
So far I am finding 16x8 with either 4" or 4.5" of back space.
I haven't measured my stock steel wheels yet but guess that might poke them out maybe too much?
Isn't the stock wheel a 16x7 with 5.5" bs?

Your assumptions are correct. That's why I wound up selling my stock Renegade rims for stock steel rims and painted them black. They look very good, actually.

Many have had good success using the 4 or 4.5" BS on Cragar Soft 8's, and similar wheels. The wider stance is mean looking and helps the rubbing situation (assuming you're running over sized tires).

There's tons of posts on this topic.

Oh, and one more thing, no two KJ's are alike. Hell, even my KJ which had no rubbing in the front once I put my ARB on, started rubbing after the last alignment. I had it aligned twice to make sure it was in spec.

ARGH.
