So I am kinda in the market for some new wheels and tires for the Libby. Now as of right now I have 16X7 Cragar Soft 8's wrapped with Goodyear Wrangler MT/R's on a Rusty's 2.5in lift. Now the place I got my rims from has had this wheel and tire package for a long time, but I have never known anyone who as got it for their Libby. All the rims are in a size 15X whatever, but I know some 15's will not fit, but... some Cragar wheels will (from what Im told). So my question is... given the link to the website here, what would be the best fitment if any for the Liberty? Thanks guys. :D

imo youve already got the rims, save the money from the package and just get good tires. 265/70/16 is the metric sizes for 31x10.5x15. 265 or 10.5" wide tires are about the widest tires youll fit easily under the kj and will be fine on the 7" rims you have already. 7" wide rims will hold that width tire on the bead better the 8" would aired down also.

Also I see where everyone has been talking about those General Grabbers, how good are those compared to say the BF Goodrich all terrains?

You already own the best tires conceived by mankind... why are you messing around with the rabble?

I love my MT'R's but they wear really badly, and unevenly. I just dont think a mud tire is good for my everyday driving on the road. I just want something that works good on pavement as well as sand, mud, snow, etc. I think an all terrain tire is what I need.
