I'm building my 2005 liberty slowly but surely, but i've run into an issue. Right now I have ome 790 coils and 131 struts with top 3/8th inch rro top shim on a gasser with at the moment no armor. later this week i will install in the rear jba 4inch coils and 4 inch bilstein struts y link extension and bumpstops. in the front im sitting at 23" from hub to flare and optimistically it will be the same in the rear after install. i have trimmed my bumper and will beat on the pinch weld as well. i currently have 245/75 r 16 all terrains on moabs that now dont fill the wheel well at all so im looking to size up with some new rims as well. so to give an idea what i am thinking i'd like to run some where in the size of 33x10.5s r 15 or 32x10.5 r 15 or some where in that range in metric ratings too if i can go wider i will. in correlation with that im looking at cragar series 342 15x8r15 with a -13mm offset and 4inches of bs or maybe a 15x10r15 with -38mm offset and 3.75inches bs. so im looking for mud terrains as well so id appreciate any insight on it and a side note is that if i have too i will add wheel spacers for extra clearence. well let me know what you think and suggestions or if any one has run this set up and the tires they use and maybe some pictures? or any 4 inch setup what m/ts to run ? and what size? thanks!! i appreciate the help!
33s are too big for a 4 inch lift to begin with unless you want to hack up everything
32s ( 265-75-16s) work but you'll also need to figure in regearing to 4.10s
Stay with a 7 inch wide wheel with 4 inches of backspacing
10 inch wide wheels are too wide
If you use the correct wheels no spacers are needed
Tires depends on where you live, how you're going to use the Jeep as to what tires work better or worse
If you want to go 33s etc , then you'll need 6 inches of lift, JBAs steel front diff, 4.56 or better yet 4.88 gears etc
Good luck
