need help about cragar soft 8

i've searched and couldnt really find an answer, so i am sorry if i didnt search good enough. but neways. ive got an 06 jeep liberty. i dont want to do any lifting mods right now. i want to get a set of cragar soft 8's. i need to know what size 15's or 16's to get. like 16x7 or what? and what size tires to get to keep from rubbing? id like to get all-terrain tires as well. and maybe a good site that has a wheel and tire combo. sorry if this is a repost.

I just put 15x7 with 4 inch of backspace soft 8s on my 02. The rims fit fine without any rubbing. The 30x9.5 bfg at/ko tires rubbed like crazy though.

Stock the Libby uses 16s. I switched to 15 because it's cheaper, and tire selection is great in 15 inch

Summit racing has the best deal I found. I paid just under $240 for 5 rims shipped with Ohio sales tax. I don't think there is a better deal out there than summit.

I got mine from Summit Racing as well, they are ridiculously cheap there. Go with them for sure. Both 15" and 16" wheels work with the KJ.

i sent an email to summit. and they said the cragar soft 8 wouldnt fit an 06 liberty?? if i was going to chose a 15 cragar with an A/T tire what would everyone reccommend? i dont want to lift it. i want something that will fit without rubbing as well. thanks. i went from having a 350z to a jeep liberty so im a 4wd n00b. sorry

16x7 4" BS, or 15x7 3.75" BS (need the extra lil bit to clear the caliper on the 15)

Max with no lift 245/70/16 in a 15" no real correlation that I know of 29.5" x 9.5" closest I think you can get is a 29x9.

With Lift, 245/75/16 or 31x10.5x15 for no rub. If you want to trim (alot) you can go up to 32's.
