This was like the first week they were installed. I've got about 10K miles on them now. I can take different angle pictures for you if you'd like.
I'm also running 1.25 inch spacers for a wider stance and still no rubbing.

I have a 2008 liberty sport stock jeep wheels and I actually like how they look I'm looking for better tires as mine are starting to go. I have the OME lift. I was looking what tires I could fit with the stock width rims with no rubbing. I've seen bf at but heard they may rub. Any options? I will also be driving in the snow. But would like good life out of them. No super cool off roading. But would like very good traction. |

Size makes a tire rub, not the kind/brand. You can put a super swamper on the KK if you find the right size lol. Anyways, with your lift I'd stay with 245/75-16, or anything similar in height(I believe they're technically 30.5" or 30.7"). If you do a lot of on road driving and looking to get decent mileage out of a tire, but still want off road traction, then you'll want to look at All terrains. I personally prefer Duratracs. Gas mileage will take a slight hit and they hum a little(very aggressive tires for all terrains), but have great traction on the road, in sand, in snow(rarely used 4wd this winter), and they're good in mud. I haven't tried them on rocks though. I think Tommudd is has around 60-70k miles on his set. Gage runs BFG all terrains. I heard good things, but they never stood out to me. Also they're pretty common in my area, I like to be different. I think a few people run Coopers. Others are bound to chime in. |

The BFG A/T in 225/75/16 has treated me well so far. I have the same OME lift as you. |

Spacers aren't needed. Just the look I wanted. 225/75/16 is a stock size tire for the Libby.

Ok thanks. I honestly think under the jeep is stupid but well they did it. Wish they did a rear like previous one. |

There's a member here, AtTheHelm who built a fantastic rear tire carrier which he sells if you contact him. He has also built a variety of other things like steel bumpers, roof rails, and a front recovery system. |
