You wanting wheels or spacers?
If wheels 16X7 with 4 inches of backspacing
If spacers then 1.25 inch ones -Spydertrax
Check wheel and tire section also
and I assume you are lifted

If you're going with rims as opposed to spacers, go with Mudd's advice about 4 inch backspacing. I'm running Cragar Soft 8s with 4in BS and love them. |

Then wheels listed above will work for you  also it helps to have your info filled out on your Jeep so we can better answer the questions you have. How much lift, type of lift etc For example if you have a full spring 3 inch lift you'll have more clearance than a spacer advertised 3 inch |

I have a noobish question along these lines. I have a non lifted 4x4 KJ Sport, and was wondering if with stock sized tires (i.e. 225/75-16), would running a 16x7 Cragar steel wheel with 4.5 backspacing cause too much rubbing? The offset is only off an inch from stock, but I am unsure what issues would arise as Ive only had the Jeep a couple of weeks. |

Unlifted sagged suspension you're more than likely going to have rubbing Of course it depends on type of tires/ etc Try one on the front and turn all the way back and forth before buying Me, I wouldn't do it |

Still depends on the sag! I've had ones here that stock wheels and 235-70s rubbed since they were sagged so much Sorry but again back to my advice ! |

I got some used Wrangler 16" rims for cheap and they are offset for about 1"+ wider....been running them for a 4 years now with just a little rubbing with stock size tires and an 2.5" OTT lift. It's an 07 with 118k miles, stock springs/shocks with 150lbs of Marshall half-stack in the back   http://highway35.com/images/j02.JPG  http://highway35.com/images/j00.JPG  http://highway35.com/images/j01.JPG |

I see a lot of spacers for sale that add 1.5 to 2 inches what is a good size to go ?? Thanks ! Try looking for a set of TJ Rubicon wheels (aka Moabs) 16" 5x4.5 bolt pattern. They have a good offset and will fit your Liberty. I ran a set for a few months. I liked them but it didn't go well with my Jeep Liberty and missed the look of Cragars. So I traded $55 plus an off brand of a HiLift jack to a set of Cragars with sub par mismatched 31" tires on them. The Moabs went to a new home in Ohio where they will be painted gunmetal grey. They were traded to almost new 31x10.5x15LT BFGoodrich All Terrain T/As which are on my Cragars currently. |

 Had an 07 here with 76,000 miles sagged over 1.5 inches before we lifted it I still say try it first to be sure There is no way you can say positively that it will or won't |
