Howdy littlejon......First,Welcome to L.O.S.T.....This forum is a must for liberty owners.You will learn alot from alot of good people here. If your refuring to tires rubbing the fenders,it could be the offset of the aftermarket wheels.Stock wheels have a positive offset of 38mm.Most aftermarket wheels are zero.The zero offset will shift your tire outwards a couple of inches and will be more likely to rub.Need to find wheels to keep your tires up under the Liberty as much as possible.Maybe someone else will chime in and give you some more ideas.

yea, its the Back spacing of your rims. The stock rims have 5.5 BS.. My Cragar rims have 5" BS. :wink:

245/75/16's will probably rub with that BS also. :?
