I'm trying to decide what to use when I lift it, I've seen a lot of five spoke factory wheels but no luck finding photos with Rubicon wheels, I'm not sure if they'll be too busy athletically for the body lines of the liberty. |

The wheels you are referring to are called Moabs. viewtopic.php?f=8&t=35942 I think they look very nice on KJs. |

Size is 265/70-17, I've pounded the pinch weld and cut some of the front fender, only minor rubbing at full turn. |

I may need to learn more about these adapters, I may have found some wheels. |

arengant runs them - he hasn't logged in -in a while - but this was the thread (down in wheels/tires) http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=773841#p773841 I've got the older 16" style personally - the biggest issue is that both types are 8" wide every tire that fits under a Liberty wheel well - works better on 7" rim |
