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.

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.
