What's the backspacing and width of the rims?

If your wheels on the Libs don't have the right backspacing they are about worthless. The wheel openings and suspension don't like wheels that work on the regular lifted jeeps. Anything less than 4.5 inches backspacing should be considered suspect as far as not working. 8 inch seems the max in width. If your wheelin' you know that tires more than 10-10.5 inch wide are a waste right? And again won't like the wheelwells. 245/75X16 dimension tires seem about perfect lifted for best performance.

I would think that 245/70R17's would work since they are the same size as 245/75R16's. I've also seen some people running 255/70R16's which are the same size as 255/65R17's. You are probably going to need a 7-7.5" width and backspacing between 4.5-5.5".
