So I think I may want to get some new rims. Saw these they are like the soft 8s but dont fit. http://www.desertrat.com/images/?id=6450 I really like the look/color of that rim. What would you call that color? Charcol? Is there a place where I can look at rims that will fit the liberty all in one spot, or must i look for a rim with the correct specs? Also I noticed on my truck after i switched from ATs to MT's about a month or so ago, I got squeeking from the brakes. This only happens at low speed while the car hasnt been driven long ,ie. pulling out of the driveway. Its very annoying, can i do anything?

Those rims are like a flat black or matte.
You can go to Summit Racing and look at what they have
just make sure you are looking at the right size, backspacing,width :wink:

Those are the same type I have on my Tahoe, just in the coated gray, look like the teflon coated ones.... sharp though. Too bad they won't fit for ya.

The squeaking you hear from your brakes is probably rust on the rotors. My Honda CRV is really bad about that. Let it sit in our Florida humidity for a couple of days without driving it and the first time or two you apply the brakes it will grind and squeak. After the first time or so of using the brakes the rust is cleared away and they won't do it anymore until it is left alone for a few days again or until it rains for awhile.

Liberty Wheel Specs

16x7
Bolt Pattern: 5x4.5"
Backspacing: 5.5"
Offset: 38mm

That is what my limited has correct? When I do a search for rims, I see the Soft 8's have 4" BS what is the lowest I should look at? What about as far as the Offset? Would any of this require a spacer?

for a 7" rim a 4" backspacing is good or a 16x8 with 5" bs
