Post subject:  Wheels for my Liberty

I am looking for a set of steel wheels for my 2003 KJ which most references say is a 16” X 7” – 4/5”X5 bolt pattern, 38mm offset and a 71.5 mm bore. <= correct that if needed.

I found a set off a 1998 Cherokee, which the owner says are 16”. My research says the width, bolt pattern and bore are identical but I have found conflicting information on the offset. One reference says it is a “Medium Offset” and another says 15mm

Can I use these wheels? I intend to mount a fairly aggressive snow tire in the 215 to 235 range.

If 16s then yes they will fit
Could be the same wheels some KJs came with only different color ( XJs came a darker color)

The wheels are a 45 minute drive away and the picture sent shows black wheels. I guess I will make the trip as I have not found any thing near the price asked - $80 for 4.

Check backspacing on them if they are not OEM wheels
Maybe they painted them ??
So whats going to happen to your present wheels?
( looking for a cheap set so just asking) :seuss:

The picture he sent is of stock wheels, so they should be OK.

I am keeping the wheels as I will need them for my "street" tires. And if I do sell them, they will not be cheap, as they are Chrome Alloys. I have already be offered (unsolicited) $200 so I think they are worth a bit more than that.

I saw what they were not that of an expensive wheel
just thought if you were going to sell them they could be painted in somewhat of a better color like dark gray
