15 and 16 inches are both highly appreciated. I'm in the market for new wheels and tires and want to stay at stock height (a lift isn't really in the budget and the libby has 219k miles on it) while adding agressive looks and off-roading capability.

That is the look I'm honestly going for exactly. I want 245/70r16s bfg ko2s on black steel rims with o or d windows (I can't decide) and a black cap (not chrome). I'm going for a blacked out look. If anyone can help me find the exact rim i want that will work right that would be greatly appreciated thanks.

EDIT: I think I'm definitely going to go with 16 inch D space rims and hopefully hve a black center cap but I still don't know what brand, backspacing, and most importantly width I should get. Opinions?

Stock width and backspacing will fit best unless you lift.

How about painting your stock wheels black?

Here's a picture of my black rims.

These are take offs from a 2015 jk. 245/75/r16. I like that the center caps say "jeep". It's the little things.

The bolt pattern on these wheels was different than the kj, so had to spend $$ on spidertrax adaptors and modify my spare mount.

I saw a set of moto metal wheels but they are 17inch in size. The JK wheels look great as well. I'm still undecided on using wheel adaptors.

Man i thought this was dead. I ended up painting the stock liberty sport rims black and it looks great with 245/70/16s on it at stock height.

Looks great. I might just use plastidip so that I can go back to stock look easily.
