Alot,if you can get 5" BS will be better(same as the MOAB's),or if you can get a 16x7 rim with 4" BS will not be bad either.

Which Cragars look better on the Liberty the 16x8 or 16x7?

16x8 will look more aggressive (more tire sticking out from under the flares) but I bet 16x7 will help reduce rubbing. 4.5-5.5" BS is better, like Troy said, but at least it's not 3.5" BS. With 3.5, it'd rub going over big bumps in the road and everytime you turned, and you're flares would likely find a new home.

I run 16x7's with about 4.5" BS,I'm running 265/75's to,oddly right on the tires(Trxus MT's) it states to mount on 16x7 rim.Personally I would run 7" wide rims with 245/75's,they will look better and hold a bead better when aired down offroad.With my 265's I have aired down to 10psi and didn't blow a bead,sure close but that bead held on.I would never air down that low if I had 8" rims.Heck I'm going to use only 8" rims running 35x12.50 tires,again better for holding a bead when aired down.

Are the factory renegade alloys 16x7? Do you know the BS on them?

Thanks,
