You should be fine. I ran the same tire size and same wheel (width and backspacing) with no rubbing.

Do they stick out much past the fender over stock?

My concern is with the backspacing. I will be running the 235/70/16 Dueler A/T's I currently have. If the Liberty has a backspacing on the stock steel wheel of 5.5 in, will it be okay to go to a 16x7 with a 4 in backspace?


holy cow a KS guy?! Be sure to check out the LOST Great Plains section and introduce yourself! We are trying to do a get together here soon, Id love to see another KS guy there, there is also another guy from Valley Center thats close.

Hope you plan to lift, because you will get quite a bit of rubbing

Well according to what JeepKJ02 posted above, they will not rub. And he has basically the same set of wheels.

Updated w/pics:

The first two pics are when I first got it with the crappy 225/75/16 Wrangler ST's. The wheels are Cragar Soft 8 16x7 with 235/70/16 Bridgestone Dueler A/T 693 tires, rubbing is non-existant. Comments welcome :mrgreen:

Ya, the tires were an excellent upgrade. And the wheels exceed my expectations.

darn those look 247% better than the stock steelies... I was going to paint the steel wheels but the extra backspacing makes such a difference too... what to do, what to do ;-) I need a second job or something!

I ordered them from Summit Racing last Fri night, came in Wed.

5 wheels + 5 center caps = $381 shipped

5 year later, this setup has inspired a copycat. I'm quite pleased with it!

In case anyone is still wondering, no lift and no rubbing here either.

Anyone on a KK with these rims and no lift? All I've ever read is that Cragar8's are a no go without a lift.
