All stock you need a wheel that is 7 inches wide and 5 inches of backspacing with a 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern same as stock Stock height you're pretty much just going to have to stay with stock size Any wider etc you'll run into issues with rubbing in front |

Thank you and the 5X5 bolt pattern is the part that confused me. http://lugpattern.net/Jeep_Bolt_Patterns.htm That site said it's a 5x114.3 bolt patter. At for tires was going to put 245/70/16 on it. |

OK so from looking at the rims they only have 16x8. So I need to find a rim that is 16x7 ? |

8 inch wide is a problem and here is why First you would need 5 inches of backspacing, but its going to stick out an inch further. Now being an eight inch wide wheel its too wide for tires like 245-70-16s etc , need something with a 8 inch wide tread at least to work properly Yes some have ran smaller but its not a good idea. Plus being wider again you'll more than likely have some rubbing issues due to the arc that the wheel/tire moves in is now one inch further out |

Some people are ok with their tires rubbing if they get "the look" they want, which explains why there are larger tires and rims on KK's on the web, some that even stick out past the fender. I personally don't agree with that philosophy. I want tires that will perform well and last a long time, and I want my vehicle to last too. Tom has lifted more than 30 KJ's and KK's in his driveway for folks on LOST and he used to sell tires too, so he would be a good person to trust on this one. (And I would get Tom's opinion on any and all questions about Liberty lifts too.) |

Ooohhhhhh I have read a lot of stuff from Tom I agree. So need a 15 or 17 x 7 is the way to go. But what about the correct backspaceing or off set? |

Thank you guys for all the info. My eyes are going cross eyed for reading so much. Just trying to find cheap steel wheels so I can spend more on better tires. Not concerned about going off road. Mostly for the slushy roads of Chicago hopefully future off road. But I also plan on going to put the stock tires and rims back on for better gas mileage for trips. Once again thank you guys for all the help. |

Don't want to come off looking like a jerk, but did you read what I posted? 5 inches of backspacing , no matter if 16 inch wheel , 17 inch wheel etc Stock thats it |

Sorry Tom I did see it and I didn't completely get it till i read it a couple more time. I saw this jeep and wife and I liked these rims and was hopeing I could get them before the lift with smaller tires.

You need to be lifted to run wheels like that If not its going to rub very bad |

stock height =stock wheels and no spacers 245-70-16s should fit if no sag |

| Post subject: | Re: Trying to get new rims ams tires |
Thank you again guys for all the information. Is stock size OK for spacers should I stick with stock size or does it have to be lifted? I'm weird I like the look of the wider stance. |

PLEASE READ You can not run spacers without a lift, you WILL HAVE rubbing issues Stock wheels and spacers are the same as having a backspacing of 4 inches OF COURSE some will try and run them, but hack away at everything in front which usually ends up being bad, they get upset and sell the KJ/KK |
