I need to know this as well, but as an additional question, what is the Liberty's bolt pattern? I can never remember if it is 5X4.5 or 5X5.5 :oops:
Will THESE work? THANKS!

5 X 4.5 is the bolt pattern, if you are going with an 8 inch wheel the 5 inch back spacing works well

answer to those wheels ...NO

Yep the backspacing kills those rims. I feel like I'm pushing myself with my rims which are BS at 4.5". When I stuff the rear, the inside sheet metal lip under our fender flares chews real nicely on my tires. I recommend staying at 5" on an 8" rim.

I have cragers 16x8 with 5" backspacing, from Quadratec. Spent about 370.00 for all 5, including the center caps. PM me for any detailed pics if you like.

Unless you plan on running wider tires then 265's or at least 11.5" a 8" rim is a bad choice and not very good for offroading if you air down your tires,your more likely to blow a bead with 265's and thinner tires on a 8" rim then a 7" rim..I would stick to a 16x7 rim and then you'll not have near the rub issues as with a 8" rim even with the same BS.

I run 265/75's and it states right on the tires to be mounted on a 7" rim.
