Hi guys I have a 2012 liberty latitude. My husband has a 2012 wrangler unlimited sport s. my jeep came with 18 inch rims and 235/60/r18 tires. He recently purchased new rims and tires for his so we have his stock rims and 255/75/r17 tires. I wanted to know what I would have to do to be able to use those on my liberty. Thanks for your time everyone.

You could use the rims with smaller tires. With those tires you would need 3+ inches of lift and regear.

Oh ok thank you. How much smaller? Would 245 work?

Wheels have a different bolt pattern so will not work with out spacers
Also 4 inch lift will be needed plus regearing to run the tires
Not worth it unless you're planning to lift etc
The KK has 5 on 4.5 , the JK has 5 on 5 pattern
your tires are 29 inches tall , his are 32s
