Thanks, any rubbing? I'm setting mine up as a tow vehicle.

Depends on the backspacing. You want to stay as close to stock as possible. 4-5" of backspacing is good. What tire size are you going to run.

what size tires are you going with? Personally I don't like the looks of 18s/20s on a Liberty but I guess its your dime, but then what are you planning on towing , weight wise?

I'm not sure how its going to look but I'm more concerened about safety than looks. I want to use stock KK wheels (235/60/18 ) Thats about 29" tall. it's actually the same height as my stock wheels but a little wider. I will be towing a 2800lb 4x4 ( Tracker SAS,coilovers, 35s) and if I put it on a trailer that will be another 1500lbs roughly. I'm trying to take as much sway out as I can. i will use airlift assist bags too and OME struts and springs are going in up front. I'm also looking for sway bars.

good 6 or 8 ply tires on the KJ will help take the sway out some as well as a properly set up hitch. Not sure if I would want to pull 4400 plus lbs on basically "car tires"

Agreed, I want to get a used set of KK tires and rims first. If it works out I'll buy light truck tires for towing. In the winter I'll put my stock rims on with some M/ts or A/ts I may try and hook up with someone who has a KK. Maybe they will let me fit them.

some 245/65-18 MTs would be sweet.

I know one of the KK guys is looking to get rid of his 18s. check the FS section

Thanks, I saw that. If I can try them on locally, I would consider it.

the wheels with 235/60-18s will fit no problem, but the issue will be finding an LT tire in that size.

Time to lift it, so you can put some bigger meats on there;)

tire rack has them with the right load rating. I'm not sure if i want 60 or 65 series.

Guest · **Posted:** Fri Sep 26, 2008 6:03 pm

What load rating? I thought you were looking for a D or E? or maybe I just misread.

I am looking for a d or an e. Tire rack goes into more detail about all the specs.
