sorry if this has been discused before but I was wondering what JK Wrangler wheels would fit on the KK if any? I am not real happy with the 3 choices of KK rims and would like to use a set off of the new Wrangler if possible.

any that are 16" and are 5x4.5, but if your wanting a 15" rim you either need some steel ones, I cant remember who makes them but there are some that clear the brakes, or you need some wheel spacers

Nothing from a new Wrangler will fit. They have a 5x5 bolt pattern, and your Liberty is 5x4.5


You will need adapters to fit them, or get wheels from when Wranglers were 5x4.5

I was looking at buying a set of AEV wheels. They have some that were made for the KJ and TJ.
Am I going to run into issues with the backspacing? What about overall wheel size. I think the stock 16" rims are 7.5 and the AEV ones are 8.0. Do you think I could run 235/70 16 AT tires on the AEV wheels?

A 15 inch rim will not fit the KK

I thought that the 2008 KK had a 5x5 bolt pattern, just like the Wrangler JK.
